Transforming Uganda’s Education and Embracing Life-Oriented Learning for Practical Skills and National Progress

This afternoon, I met with the Education Policy Review Commission, led by Col. (Rtd) Nuwe Amanya Mushega, at State House to discuss transformative reforms in Uganda’s education system. I emphasised the need for a life-oriented education that equips every child by the age of 16 with the skills and values to contribute meaningfully to society. Since its establishment in 2021, the Commission has worked diligently to reshape our education system through comprehensive research and global benchmarking, engaging all stakeholders to recommend valuable changes. I am pleased to have received their revolutionary proposals. Our post-colonial education system has strayed from traditional practices, focusing too much on memorisation rather than practical skills. It's time for change to close the gaps in quality and relevance. I look forward to discussing this report further with the cabinet for implementation.
