The Islamic University in Uganda has started a two-year education programme for students from Somaliland and Puntaland states. “We are teaching the students a postgraduate diploma in Educational Management. This is with support from the African Education Trust that selected our proposal. “We were many universities that took part but we emerged the best,” said Muhamadi Kaweesi, the programme coordinator. The programme started on July 11 with a face-to-face session.
“We are in Somaliland and Puntaland to freely interact with the 50 students. It is nice that the students have shown their dedication,” Kaweesi told The Observer via an online chat.
The beneficiaries will be awarded a postgraduate diploma in Educational Management by IUIU. “This has enabled us prove that the university programmes are indeed effective and highly valued in the market,” he said.
Dr Maimuna Nimulola, the dean of the Faculty of Education, says she is happy with her hardworking staff.
“In the Education faculty, all staff members cooperate to promote both the faculty and university visions,” Nimulola said.
“We are known for producing good teachers in the country. It is now time for us to go regional because our alumni have been good ambassadors.”
Shaban Lukoya, IUIU’s public relations officer, says the four-man delegation heading to the horn of Africa comprises Muhamadi Kaweesi, Yunus Hakeen Mubiru, Badru Musisi and Muhamadi Bisaso.
