August 24, 2021 E-learning in Uganda: A bitter pill to Swallow
The COVID-19 pandemic has heavily damaged the Ugandan education system with the current batch if students having been out of school longer than any previous generation of Ugandan students (even during it's various wars). The future of this system hangs in the balance due to possible future variants of the virus emerging, hence more lockdowns.
An e-learning system was introduced for some classes, but there were many hitches. Other countries are employing e-learning with results. Is the fault solely with our government, the lack of resources necessary for students to access e-learning, or is the enthusiasm of the students who can access these systems are unwilling to adapt to the system because of a bias towards a new system.
Find out more with Okello Leone George p'Akena on the next episode of the TAIFA PODCAST SERIES.

On call with Barbara Tabea an International Relations major in France and Simeon Nicholas Watante a Diesel Engineering major in South Africa we discuss Uganda's next steps to securing a healthy and productive populace in a fair and wealthy economy or simply put as how Uganda can become what the western countries refer to as "1st world". Centered topics for discussion include; how to get the population interested in civics and how they perceive it? Would our nation's high levels of illiteracy be a bigger burden than the western interference and sabotage? How can we best ensure free and quality essential services like education, health among the like to the populace?
