Government position non ICT

“The move by universities to embrace ICT in their teaching practices is commendable and we strongly support because this will produce job creators and relevant human resource for the job market,”he said.
However National Council for Higher Education Executive Director Alex Kagume cautions parents and prospective students to seek admission from only registered and licensed universities and tertiary institutions to avoid falling in the trap of unscrupulous individuals operating unlicensed schools which are illegal by law.
