Improve Teacher Training in National Teachers' College (NTC) of Muni

Teacher education is one of the key strategic priorities of the Education Sector in Uganda. Secondary school teachers are trained in the 5 National Teacher Colleges (NTC). Belgium has provided support to Teacher Education since 2011 through the Teacher Training and Education (TTE) Project. The new intervention will build on the achievements of the Government of Uganda and its stakeholders in the sub-sector. Significant lessons related to pedagogy, infrastructure, academic and strategic management have been learned from the TTE project and guide the implementation strategy of the new intervention. This intervention, anchored at different levels of the Ministry of Education, Science, Technology and Sports (MoESTS), will be jointly implemented with a complementary project in Kaliro NTC. Both projects will focus on strengthening policy development and strategic planning within the sub-sector and will support the Ministry to strengthen the capacities of the targeted NTCs. The intervention is aligned to relevant strategic plans of the Government of Uganda at the national/sector and NTC levels. It will focus on supporting 3 interrelated fields of intervention:  organisational support to NTC, the TIET department and other critical stakeholders such as PDU and CMU;  consolidate the implementation of newly developed pedagogical approaches – ATL – in the NTC;  support the implementation and regular review of the NTC’s Master Plan for the sustainable development of its infrastructure and associated services. The promotion of environmentally friendly and sustainable infrastructure and the integration of cross-cutting themes (environment, gender & HIV and AIDS) are also key strategic orientations of the intervention. The specific objective of the intervention is ‘Improved teaching and practice-oriented learning facilities sustained by strengthened management’. To reach this objective, the project has defined a strategy that addresses three areas: the organisational and financial management capacity of the NTC (result 1); increased access to quality training and learning facilities (result 2); and the institutional capacity of the Procurement Disposal Unit (DPU) and the Construction Management Unit (CMU) (result 3).

R1. The organisational and financial management capacity of NTC Muni to deliver its strategic priorities is strengthened. R2. Access to quality training and learning facilities in NTC Muni is increased. R3. The capacity of the Construction Management Unit (CMU) and Procurement Disposal Unit (PDU) to deliver their services in a timely, efficient and effective way is strengthened. Increased access to quality post-primary education and training, as part of the Universal Post-Primary Education and Training (UPPET). Improved teaching and practice-oriented learning facilities sustained by strengthened management.
