Campus Bee has taken off time to dig deep into the mystery of courses that the Fountain of Honour, HE President Museveni has rendered ‘useless’.
Further more, some of the courses have not been talked about as much as the common courses that where laid out in the Daily Monitor the past year which sparked a deadly strike at Makerere Business School in Nakawa.
Below are some of the courses the President, has over time, referred to as useless and that universities should stop teaching them.
1.Bachelors in Leadership and Governance.
This course is both offered at Makerere Universty main campus and MUBS, always has the president referred to this course as a disastrous field to the young growing generation that sometimes mistake it for a tool of liberation even when there is no need.
It should be remembered that president Museveni also pushed for the scrapping off of political education in the lower institutions of learning (secondary schools).
2.Office and information management
This course, over the years, has dominated Makerere Universty Business school.On record with the school’s registry indicating that 85% of the students offering this course are female students and never has the %age dropped.
3.Wildlife Health and Management.
Earlier in the years, President Museveni encouraged students to offer this course inorder to promote tourism much further than it had taken Uganda in terms of development.
However, as more years passedby, the President instead insisted on students who were good at science studies to resort to offering more reliable, more marketable courses such as Oil related courses after the discovery of oil in Western Uganda.
4.Masters of Religious Studies.
This Masters course is prominent amongst institutions like African Renewal Universty located in Bulenga, St Augustine Universty and Uganda Christian Universty, in Mukono which are faith based all the way in their operation.
Local pastor Serwadda is among the few people who are known to have attained a Masters of Religious Studies in the early 2000s.
5. Science in conservation Biology.
Museveni, earlier, was positive that this course was to help out NEMA human resource since only a few Ugandans had little knowledge about environment conservation.
This course was brought up to empower the common population with knowledge of conserving nature and its greenness.
Other courses inlcude; Bachelor of arts in conflict resolution, Bachelors in Social Works and Social Administration among others.
