I was so impressed
when I saw the Careers Guidance Handbook produced by the Ugandan Ministry of
Education, Science, Technology and Sports. It was so well written and comprehensive. The government is to be congratulated that they ensured that every Senior Secondary School in
Uganda
would receive two copies.
Wonderful but how
could we make sure that every student; every parent; grandparent or guardian;
every teacher; clergyman and all those engaged in offering careers advice – the
people who really needed this guidance could have a copy? The heavy printing
and distribution costs for such a necessarily large book made it impossible for
all to be have a hard copy.
We believe uniquely in
the World - the KAWA team and Learn with Grandma have taken a bold step into the future and sponsored
this excellent e-book version. Not only can EVERYONE access this e-book - on any device; from a mobile phone to a large
screen whiteboard; enabling it to be used in training courses – but also (unlike
a printed book) it can be added to as new courses and training opportunities
become available. We believe that this is the first digital careers guidance
book to be offered in this digital format anywhere in the World. Well done Uganda !
Please do share the
news of this great advance. Please also join Learn with Grandma Uganda on
Facebook. For information on
updates and of new e-books as they are created.
God Bless

It is important, that after providing such basic foundation
ReplyDeletefor our students, they should be guided in identifying their capacities,
competencies and interests; and enable them make meaningful
educational and occupational choices.
Thank you for this online career guidance centre. I am a student who has completed Senior Four, now joining A level in Uganda. I passed most the subjects but still having challenges on the choice of the combination and the career progress after A' level.
ReplyDeleteDear Irene, your such a wonderful student who seeks for guidance through online platforms. Your future depends on the choices you make at this level. Take time to study and watch videos about courses offered in different institutions and suggestions offered by this platform. You will make it.
DeleteI have liked the content on this website. More youth spend time reading career guidance info provided since this also a social media platform.
ReplyDeleteI like this because it will help many youths to understand what they should do. This is because many youths today engage them selves in unproductive work yet they need to sustain their lives, so with this they will be able to open thier minds and it will help them to live a well developed life.
ReplyDeleteThank you Grandma Valerie for coming up with this good idea of a digital and interactive platform where we can ask questions to professionals. This is far better than a text book where ideas stay idle on shelves. Jajja Val Weebale Nyo.
