#TeachersMakingADifference Congratulations to these outstanding teachers from Karamoja! All 12 winners will travel to Ireland as part of their award. We celebrate their dedication and the difference they make across Uganda. @newvisionwire @ugtravelcare @dfatirl

Teachers Making a Difference initiative is a strong example of a public–private partnership that recognises excellence in teaching and highlights the important role teachers play in national development. I would like to express my appreciation to the Government of Uganda, and in particular to the Ministry of Education and Sports, for its continued collaboration with Ireland and other partners in strengthening the education sector and developing the human capital Uganda will need for its ten fold growth strategy:-@IEAmbUganda Mags Gaynor. @IrlEmbUganda @nyamadon @BarbaraKaija @Educ_SportsUg @JanetMuseveni

Maama, with support from the Embassy of Ireland, we have been able to make follow ups of what these Alumni do after winning the awards. As part of the TMD Alumni strengthening, we conduct annual CPD programmes to ensure they are up to date with the current trends and developments in education. I am glad to inform you that 45 of the 53 TMD Alumni who have been undergoing a CPD programme over the past two days are with us this afternoon. To keep them continuously innovating, we have introduced a category where the winners compete amongst themselves – dubbed the Most Progressive Alumni::-@nyamadon #TeachersMakingADifference | #VisionUpdates

Maama, distinguished ladies and gentlemen, in a special way, allow me also recognise Ambassador Mags, the Irish Ambassador to Uganda, and by extension, the people of Ireland, for their tremendous support to the education sector in Uganda in general and the Teachers Making A Difference project in particular. Through this project, which New Vision started implementing in 2013, we have been able to celebrate the success of close to a thousand outstanding teachers, by publishing their profiles on our various media platforms:-@nyamadon #TeachersMakingADifference | #VisionUpdates

The First Lady and Minister of Education and Sports, @JanetMuseveni, has called for strengthened collaboration between Uganda and Ireland, with a particular focus on expanding practical skills training to meet the country’s growing infrastructure and employment needs.
