According to the research, a significant number of students are unable to consistently access all required online materials or participate fully in virtual sessions due to unreliable internet and high data tariffs. One final-year student explained, “I have to wait until late at night for cheaper data bundles, but by then I am too tired to concentrate on the recorded lectures. Sometimes, I miss quizzes because the network is poor.”
Wessali encouraged students to begin putting their skills to use as early as possible instead of waiting to feel ‘ready’.
A new study by Uganda Christian University (UCU) postgraduate student Jacqueline Nalubwama now sheds light on how the media house managed those critical first months of the pandemic and what lessons Uganda’s media industry can draw from that experience.
Prof. Aaron Mushengyezi the Vice Chancellor of Uganda Christian University (UCU) has pledged 50 million Uganda shillings towards the Church of Uganda (COU) All Clergy Conference being held at the university’s main pitch. Mushengyezi made this gesture as he gave his opening remarks at the conference, which has welcomed more than 3000 clergymen from all 39 Protestant dioceses of the country.
He emphasized the need for a mission-driven mindset that adds value to institutions and communities:
From commanding leadership in goal to creativity in midfield and composure in defence, these four players will be the heartbeat of a team determined to make their mark on home soil.
We just need to take the lessons we’ve learnt and look a bit better next time round. Right now, we need to look at the highest we can finish.”
For Rev. Canon Paul Wasswa Ssembiro, chaplain of Uganda Christian University (UCU), it was a moment of joy and pride as he translated the sermon which Bishop Henry Luke Orombi, the former Archbishop of the Church of Uganda gave, at the event at the Anglican Shrine.
Students must also be aware of financial traps, which range from mobile loans to “buy now, pay later” schemes. A student who understands how money works can anticipate these pitfalls and take the safer and better route.
