The University starts
What is the connection between cows and a holiday course to upgrade teachers? Answer: in upcountry Uganda a teacher needs to sell a cow to help pay the fees for the course and has to wait for market day before joining up. For the unit in question the fees are USh100,000 about $55, to complete the course requires 12 units. I hope that makes you think, and wonder what you could do to help. Post a message to info@mmu.ac.ug and I will tell you. Serious poverty is no joke.
We have about 60 students on this and related courses and on the full time courses which start with orientation on 5th September the numbers are increasing but will probably be a total of about 80, not a lot but better than the 15 the National council advised us to start with.
Courses currently are Education, Business Management, Public Health, Public Administration and Horticulture with Management and entrepreneurship. Shorter courses will be started as we settle into what we are doing at present in IT, business, finance etc depending on demand.
