Opening of Soroti University Blocked by NCHE

With a visual impression that the administration block featuring 16 lecture theatres, lecture halls, eight science laboratories, eight tutorial rooms and laboratories designed specifically for medicine, engineering and associated science courses, Soroti University is going to be one of the grate Public universities in Uganda. But National Council for Higher Education (NCHE) says Soroti University is not ready to start admitting students.

He said that NCHE also wants the University’s computer laboratories to be fully equipped with new computers before it opens.

“A skills laboratory with all the relevant equipment to serve the nursing students is required and programmes will commence after the nursing skills laboratory has been set up with beds, instruments, models and necessary equipment,” part of NCHE report reads.

NCHE report notes that the histology, physiology, biochemistry, microbiology and histopathology laboratories well equipped with microscopes, stools, reagents and others.
