Addressing Media this afternoon, Acting Vice Chancellor Bill Nkeeto said the Education sector was not spared by the Covid-19 Pandemic.

Nkeeto said this lockdown put their students and their parents at stake wondering how to go about their education while at home. Many of them couldn’t continue with their studies.

However, a ray of hope was shone to the education sector when the President of Uganda, Yoweri Museveni okayed the opening of institutions with final year students undertaking health related courses. This followed strict guidelines and recommendations issued by the Ministry of Health and other experts.

Ministry of Education and Sports (MoES) through its member bodies has been working hard to ensure that education resumes following the issuance of COVID-19 SOP guidelines which were issued in September, 2020.

Victoria University having health and science related programmes, had on 22nd May, 2020 applied to the National Council for Higher Education to roll out an emergency Open Distance and E-learning system during the current lockdown.

The NCHE conducted an inspection of the Victoria University e-learning facilities and was convinced that the campus, located along Kampala-Jinja Road highway was ready to start its online teaching programmes for its students.

The permission is valid for twelve (12) months or the duration of the COVID-19 crisis as will be determined by the relevant authorities and a renewal can be applied for at least (2) months before the expiry of the (12) twelve months period if necessary.
On 31st August 2020

Folowing NCHE guidelines and its inspection of the University for its ability to carry out online studies, granted it permission to roll out an emergency ODel for its programmes. This also followed the directive by H.E Yoweri Kaguta Museveni to approve opening up of institutions with final year students undertaking health related trainings to curb the human resource gap in the Health sector following the current Covid-19 outbreak in the country.

After unveiling rocket mouthed journalist Bbwaddene Basajjamivule, the ruling National Resistance Movement party could yet again add to the number of it’s ever growing recruits from the Kamwokya based National Unity Paltform (NUP) opposition party. Unconfirmed reports coming in reveal that President Museveni chief fisherman Balaam Barugahara could yet again be on the verge of landing a very big fish for his master in the name of none other than the popular NUP singer Hillary Kiyaga aka Hilderman. The Mazongoto singer was set to challenge Trade Minister Amelia Kyambadde for the Mawokota MP seat before he reportedly chickened out in favor of a mega deal dangled before him by the cunning Museveni fixer Balaam. Hill Water It has been reported that the powerful Minister had over the last few months courted the events promoter Balaam in a bid to convince him plead with Hilderman to drop his parliamentary bid in exchange for some juicy offer from the ruling side. After a long period of playing hard to get, we have established that Hilderman, one of the few musicians that have stayed by Bobi Wine’s side through thin and thick has finally succumbed to Balaam’s trickery, giving up on his strong ally in the process. It’s also reported that Mr Kiyaga was set to meet the President in the past couple of days but the busy political schedule with the CEC and this week’s NRM primaries have continuously led to the deferral of the program. We have since learnt that a meeting between Hilderman and the President is on schedule before a mega announcement that would most certainly leave the NUP boss – Bobi Wine nursing a broken spine.
