Best students awarded at Makerere University Business School 10th Graduation

A total of 1,186 graduates were passed out at the 10th graduation ceremony of Makerere University Business School (MUBS) on 29th May 2015.

52 of the graduates were luzira inmates who graduated with diplomas and certificates in business and entrepreneurship management.

At the same function, General Salim Saleh delivered a commencement lecture under the topic  “Creating employment and wealth through agriculture as a business”.

The Presidential adviser on military affairs advised education institutions to start training students with relevant practical skills needed for the current job market to overcome graduate unemployment.

He wondered why agriculture which can create a number of jobs for Ugandans is not prioritized as a subject at lower educational levels.

“How do you expect graduates to take on agriculture when you have not skilled them, agriculture is not a key subject at Primary level and it is not compulsory at secondary level; so how can one get interested after graduating? ….. I have no kind words for Uganda’s education system”, said Salim Sale.

The graduation function that was presided over by Prof. Mondo Kagonyera, the Chancellor Makerere University saw best performing students awarded with cash prizes.
