Primary teachers’ colleges to be phased out by July

The establishment of the Uganda National Institute for Teacher Education (UNITE) will mark the phasing out of non-graduate teachers and all primary teachers’ colleges, writes Salmah Namwanje for Nile Post.

Preparations are in high gear at Shimoni Core Primary Teachers College that is being repurposed to become the UNITE in July. The task force that was put in place to establish UNITE has already submitted education programmes to the National Council for Higher Education (NCHE) for certification.

The NCHE has already done the inspection and verification of the infrastructure at the headquarters and all five national teachers’ colleges that are going to become UNITE campuses. NCHE approved all of them and are now ready for kick off.
