Justice Bart Katureebe wants graduates to look into other ways to solve legal problems. He thinks regular courts cost too much money and don't really fix issues between people. At the UMI graduation in Gulu last Friday, he talked about how mediation and local customs often work better than formal courts because they bring people together instead of pulling them apart.
Katureebe believes mixing old village justice ways with modern legal ideas helps heal communities rather than just punish wrongdoers. He asked new graduates to use what they learned to make life better for others. Dr. James Nkata, who leads UMI, said 241 students finished school at Gulu this year. Of these students, 192 earned advanced diplomas and 49 finished master's degrees.
Dr. Nkata explained that UMI focuses more on research and hands-on projects than just classroom learning these days. The school builds an AI center right at the campus with help from tech experts to stay current with new developments. Paul Otim Okot, who did really well in his Monitoring and Evaluation classes, found a job at Care International because of his UMI education.
Paul works as a Monitoring Officer at their Lira Office, putting his classroom lessons into real-world practice every day. His success shows exactly what Justice Katureebe meant about using school knowledge to help local communities improve. The practical skills taught at UMI directly connect to jobs that make a difference in Uganda's future.
