The Education Minister, Janet Museveni has reiterated government’s commitment to supporting Makerere University towards achieving its goal of becoming a research-led institution.
The minister who is also the First Lady, said this while virtually presiding over Makerere’s 73rd graduation ceremony.
Addressing the graduates, Janet Museveni said that as government, they are ready to support Makerere to improve its research and science strategy.
This comes months after President Yoweri Museveni also reiterated his call for Makerere to focus mainly on science and research to help solve the country’s problems.
Speaking at a function to commemorate 100 years of the university in October last year, the president said that science is the foundation of all social change and that it is crucial for human existence. END.
