All primary teachers seeking to advance their studies to a Bachelor\u2019s degree in education will no longer have to come to Kampala as Kyambogo University has established study centers at nine Primary Teachers\u2019 Colleges (PTCs) .<\/p>\n

The program benefits only those teachers seeking to acquire a Bachelor of Education in Primary Education or a Bachelor of Education in Special Needs Education External degree. The program is set to start of earlier\u00a0 this year.<\/p>\n

While launching the program at Jinja Primary Teachers\u2019 College Wanyange at the weekend, Kyambogo Vice Chancellor, Prof Eli Katunguka, said the decision was triggered by the high demand by primary teachers to extend the Bachelor\u2019s degree program of primary education to upcountry centers.<\/p>\n

Currently, all primary teachers, who have been seeking further education have been going to Kyambogo University during school holidays for three years until completion of the course.<\/p>\n

Prof Katunguka explained that among other things, Kyambogo University will only provide technical assistance in terms of coordination, teaching staff and teaching material at the PTCs but all fees will be paid to the university account.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of our mandates as a university is to improve the country\u2019s education by making it accessible to everyone. By opening these new centres, our teachers will acquire more skills especially in education management hence advancing their career,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
