[Buregyeya Apollo, PhD @ApolloBuregyeya]

It is unfortunate that it costs close to Shs 1 billion in public money to educate a citizen to PhD level, yet after making that substantial investment, government often loses interest in what that citizen can do with the knowledge acquired.

We produce highly trained minds, but then leave them without the resources required to apply their expertise. They are forced to compete for limited jobs and small opportunities in an economy that urgently needs the skills, research and innovations they possess.

This is the missing link: giving our most highly trained citizens a viable pathway to turn expertise into enterprise.

A PhD should not mark the end of public investment in a person. It should be the point at which that investment begins to generate returns. If a scientist develops a new material, an engineer creates a new construction technology, an agricultural scientist develops a productive innovation, or a geologist identifies a commercially valuable mineral opportunity, that person should have a clear pathway to develop the idea further.

The question should not be, “Where will you get the money to do it?”

The question should be, “How do we move this idea from the laboratory to the market?”

This requires more than conventional employment. It requires dedicated mechanisms for research commercialisation, technology development, innovation, advanced manufacturing and knowledge-based enterprises. Government, financial institutions and private investors need to recognise that highly trained people are not merely job seekers. They are potential creators of industries, technologies and wealth.

A practical approach would be to support promising ideas in stages: small grants for proof of concept, larger support for prototypes and field trials, financing for commercialisation, and private investment once a viable market has been demonstrated. Government can absorb some of the early risk while allowing private finance to take over as the opportunity becomes clearer.

Without such a pathway, advanced education can become a form of underutilised national investment. We spend heavily to produce experts, then leave them without the means to apply their expertise. Some abandon their ideas, some leave the country, while others take their talents to economies that are better equipped to turn research into businesses and industries.

The tragedy is not that Uganda lacks ideas or highly trained people. We have invested in the capacity to solve our problems, but not sufficiently in the systems that allow that capacity to produce results.

If we are prepared to spend billions educating someone to PhD level, we should also be prepared to help turn their best ideas into products, enterprises, technologies and industries.

That is how we turn education from an expenditure into an investment with a return.

This is very true and can be said for anyone in pursuit of a great goal in life. For as long as your personal life is simple and intentional, your work life and decisions flow. Focus is where your energy flows!
So, have the right people around you. Focus on what’s best for you. More importantly, dare to be great.
Happy Sunday comrades. 🙏🏿

I saw a post on Reddit that said that “The underlying purpose of AI is to allow wealth to access skill while removing from the skilled the ability to access wealth.” And I don’t think I’ve ever seen AI described so incisively.
