Mbarara district to construct its first technical school
Mbarara district has designated 12 acres of land in Mitoozo Parish, Kashare sub-county, to the Ministry of Education and Sports for the construction of the district’s first technical school.
Fred Mwesigye, the head of scholarships at the Ministry of Education and Sports, disclosed that on September 29, 2023, he wrote to the Minister for Education and Sports, Janet Kataaha Museveni, who is also the First Lady, to remind her of the necessity to build a technical school in the district.
He said the technical school is to cater to the large number of youth in the district who cannot afford higher education.
While today touring the site where the technical school is planned to be built, Mwesigye, accompanied by leaders from Kashare sub-county, warned politicians against interfering with the construction of the school.
Mwesigye stated that the project will begin soon and is estimated to cost around 1.4 billion shillings.
Deus Ndyanabo, the mayor of Nyabisirira town council, praised the government for bringing the services of a technical school to the area.
It’s important to highlight that the government has committed to establishing vocational training institutes in every district to support and promote technical vocational education and training.
