Iam at Akershus University College (HIAK), just thinking about Vocational Education. What is it about?
One may say, "skill and knowledge required for a particular job". Yes and i think this may be true. Vocational Education prepares one to directly enter occupations without further training. This is what the developing nations need because of the limited resources. Unfortunately, this is not so, and for long, vocational education has been considered a subject for the academically "disabled''. Slowly, this kind of attitude is changing. I wish there was a faster way of doing it!My reflection: Looking at the education system in Uganda, it would be a good idea to establish Vocational Education Colleges which will provide the avenue for the graduates of the community polytechnic colleges, who will in turn be the candidates for the Bachelor programme already existing in Kyambogo University and one to be esablished at Upper Nile University in Sudan.

I totally agree with you Grace that our nations need to follow this track. the track of vocational education not only for one`s job but also for her/his daily life. I am quite sure at the end of this track we will find a satisfactory result for all of us.
Let us now prepare ourselves very well for the next stage.
