17/Dec/2009 Championing ICT Training and Adoption in the Transformation of Uganda

The education sector in Uganda is the 3rd largest contributor to the country's GDP. Now that everybody has a chance to get education through UPE and USE, the
focus will in the coming years shift to BTVET sector and university education to support research and technological innovations. Since we have achieved economic recovery and the economy's tax base has expanded, Science and Technology will be looked at as critical avenue to allow transformation in the higher education sector through knowledge transfer partnerships.
