The Ugandan Minister for Science, Technology and Innovation, Monica Musenero, has told teachers to strive for an education that adds value to learners to improve the socio-economic development of Uganda. While crossing the three-day Aga Khan University's Foundation for Learning Conference that recently brought together educators from Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania, Musenero called for an education that fills learners with the knowledge to add value to the resources in the country. “Education is not for grades; it is for national development and socio-economic transformation. We need to bring that into view and assess it. Let’s look at it as a driver for development. If we are not educating for that reason, then we shall not have an aim. Let us have a perfect education because how we are teaching children is not properly aligned with national goals,” Musenero said.
