Is our education relevant?
Our education system appears like it is wasting a lot of time teaching things that are not developmental to our children. For instance my daughter said during her mathematics lesson, she learnt about the a+b circumference. I have met employers and can tell that some of these topics are not applicable in work places. Why not teach our young ones the developmental aspects that will help our country, Uganda grow?

Check flooding schools
The effects of flood in some schools in Bwaise has reached alarming proportions. Why should a school be constructed in the middle of a slum with no approved plan? This problem has been sung in different tunes and the education ministry has turned a deaf ear. It is Ugandan children who are exposed to cholera and the school proprietors do not care as long as they make their profits. Can somebody save us from this calamity?

Kyambogo should take transcript issue seriously
Kyambogo University’s step in recalling thousands of transcripts that had errors is ridiculous.
The university took a bold step and awarded transcripts on graduation day.
Whereas this was a great step in the right direction, the university implemented it prematurely and in a rush to beat the graduation deadline. The university’s excuse of lack of personnel seems shallow.
A national university of Kyambogo’s caliber owes a lot to the public and giving erroneous transcripts cannot be tolerated.
For a long time Kyambogo’s transcript office has been riddled with corruption and inefficiency as evidenced by floods of complaints in the press. The university management should take the issue of transcripts more seriously because a transcript lies at the heart of university’s integrity. Lawrence Kagoda
