The Faculty of Education is a vibrant, and an important player in production   and further development of practicing teachers, particularly in the context of meeting and addressing the priorities of Uganda’s education needs. The key aim of the Faculty’s pre-service teacher education is to develop student teachers who teach effectively in order to facilitate learning in schools.
