It is disheartening to note that although Uganda is celebrating more than 60 years of independence it remains practically unchanged. Meaningful opportunities are for a handful few relative to the population and this has not changed ever since. While the scarcity of meaningful opportunities was not felt in the initial years of independence, because few people had formal education then, it became increasingly felt over time mainly as jobs/opportunities going to particular ethnic group(s). The scarcity has become acute and it is visible across all walks of life, i.e. as rising unemployment and underemployment, as desperate search for greener pastures, as increasing conflicts over land, as mushrooming places of worship, as rapid degradation of the environment, and so on. Reliable forecast shows that this scarcity will remain or worsen over the next two decades condemning our children and grandchildren to a bleak future.
The real Cause
Don’t just blame leaders; the real cause is much bigger than them, namely Uganda’s non-conformity to the natural law out of underdevelopment. Moving society out of poverty and underdevelopment does not just happen; there is a natural law that controls the process. As long as Uganda’s non-conformity to this law continues, its chances of getting out of poverty and underdevelopment will remain non-existent regardless of what the policy makers say.
Call to Action
Let’s come together as parents and make Uganda brighter for our children and grandchildren. We do this by supporting our education to go beyond knowledge and skills and impart in learners the right thinking for Uganda’s development. Support by buying a slot for your recognition while at the same time it enables the printing, distribution and promoting effective use of the education tools, described below, in over 80% of the schools in Uganda. The slots are at the end of this page.
The education tools
The right thinking for Uganda’s development will be established systematically as follows:
1. After equipping learners of senior 1-3 with the right thinking for science-based development, the education tools on this site promote development of this thinking by inspiring them into coming up with science-based solutions to various local challenges.
2. After equipping learners of senior 3-4 with the right thinking for the nation’s development, the tools on this site promote development of this thinking by (a) strengthening career guidance in sciences (b) nurturing meaningful ways of acquiring fame or wealth.
3. After learners in high school have been equipped with the right thinking for knowledge-led development, the tools on this site promote development of this thinking by enticing them into supporting/starting numerous business startups, capable of changing the land-scape of Uganda’s economy.
4. After equipping learners in tertiary institutions with the right thinking for vibrant growth, the tools on this site promote development of this thinking by inspiring them into self-employment.
