This is a one year programme designed to train participants in teaching of specific areas in professional development. A participant shall major in two teaching subjects to enable him/her teach at the point of specialisation.
Many first degree holders do not have teaching skills yet would like to join the teaching profession. Secondary schools in Uganda need more teachers to improve the quality of education in the country. The School of Education designed this program to enable graduates to acquire pedagogical skills to enable them to deliver quality education.
It is common knowledge that teaching in secondary schools and Primary schools is examination-oriented and therefore the learners come out with no focus on community values. The program is expected to produce graduates who are innovative and research-oriented in their work. It is expected that products of this program will approach school subject teaching geared to knowledge application rather than only cognitive
values.
