Prof. Anthony Mugagga, speaking at the Kajubi Fulbright Memorial Lecture thanked the @USAmbUganda for the support to the university and pledged to continue holding these series of lectures. @Makerere @USEmbassyUganda

- Expand and strengthen teacher training to support widened access and quality teaching. - Prioritize foundational learning (invest in primary education as the basis for later success). - An inclusive curriculum that addresses disadvantaged groups

According to Dr. Nakabugo, the 1989 Education Policy Commission priorities were: - Democratization of education with two guiding principles: - Education for everyone (universal access), including formal and non‑formal pathways. - Education should produce responsible citizens.

Delivering her keynote at @Makerere, Dr. Mary Goretti Nakabugo (@UwezoUganda) underscored Prof. Kajubi’s 1989 education policy report as a foundation for inclusive education & citizenship development, noting, “A policy is as good as its implementation.” @kyambogou @UVCFX2026

"A policy is as good as its implementation," Dr. Mary Goretti Nakabugo, delivering her keynote address at the Kajubi Fulbright Memorial Lecture 2026.

"Prof. Kajubi authored the 1989 Education Policy Review Commission Report—still one of the most comprehensive analyses of Uganda’s education system. Decades on, many reforms today echo his clear, forward-looking recommendations," @MakerereVC @Makerere #Kajubilecture2026
