Tuition fees are skyrocketing in the country. And as if in rehearsed unison, every education institution in the country is charging astronomical fees to offer a curriculum that has over the years, championed a vicious cycle of unemployment in the country andan education system that heavily prides in accumulating job seekers in an economy where job creators are few. But wail no more. There is, after all, a solution that will change the status quo. Swedish based Jonkoping University(JU) is running a campaign to school Ugandans in hordes of International academic disciplines to help them be the faces of change in all the sectors that directly influence the economy back home. The Swedish university recently launched the sensitization campaign whose activities will commence on the 23rd of February.
The University will hold a conference at Karibu Hall, Hotel Triangle from the 23rd to 25th of Feb to sensitize Ugandans about their (JU) education system. Notably, still, is that the University is offering 30% discounts to Ugandan students who will travel to Sweden for the studies. This offer, atop guaranteed accommodation, is set to rally Ugandan students whose guardians grapple with the astronomical fees structure in the country.
Why JU
The University offers students the chance to work as they study, given the vast job opportunities in Sweden. But this shouldn’t sway you because according to the administration, the university does not offer jobs or pay for accommodation. What it does however, is secure a place of residence for the students where upon, the students don’t go through the huddles of looking for accommodation in a new country.
The jobs are guaranteed only after one has acquired the skill sets in the panoply of academic disciplines the University offers. The University’s curriculum is designed to offer students the verve to compete for jobs on the international market. Hordes of Ugandan JU graduates have registered jobs with Multinational organization, and have gone back to their countries as employed individuals as opposed to the proverbial grand arrival with a degree whose festivities are sooner replaced by the sorrow of job seeking.
Easy Visa
Even more interesting, is that once a student has applied and finished registration, the Visa Application is done online and finished cheaply with in a very short period of time. You don’t have to brave walking to and fro the Swedish Embassy for months to have it approved. Suffice it to say; registration at the University will guarantee a free-of-huddles Visa.
The University is holding a sensitization conference to explain all and demystify the complexities that seem to baffle interested students on the 23rd to the 25th of February, in Karibu Hall, Hotel Triangle.
