Chinese to boost technical and vocational education

A high-level Chinese delegation, hosted by the Uganda Institute of Information and Communication Technology under the Ministry of ICT and National Guidance, has embarked on a strategic collaboration aimed at enhancing Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) in the country.

The event and partnership happened on August 16 at the ICT Hub Nakawa, which sought to leverage China's expertise in vocational education to empower Ugandan youth with practical skills crucial for economic growth and employment opportunities.

"The main area that we are looking at collaborating in is curriculum development. Not only ICT but also teaching TVET areas like; the health sector, mechanical sector, agriculture, using ICTs. Other areas are capacity building and skills development," Mr Kitoogo said.

He added: Student and faculty exchange is also one of our targets whereby we shall be able to have our students go to China to work with the industry there and gain tangible experience in terms of the utilization of technologies."
