In many countries outside Africa, classroom hours are less, but still people learn and develop. Perhaps Uganda is one of the countries where students stay longest in class on a typical school day - especially in boarding schools.

On top of the long class hours, day scholars return home with daily loads of homework. They’re even given more work to carry home for weekends! School books and homework become a nuisance at home! What special output justifies this intensive schooling?

Dear Minister of Education, we really need to do something about this. This kind of schooling destroys brains and wholesome growth of our people. Many grade-obsessed parents can’t speak out, some fearing the blackmail from schools asking them to take their children elsewhere. Classwork is important, but education and life in general are not all about books.

Greetings Ugandans, Les have a debate on Uganda’s Health System.

Uganda’s health system exposes one of the deepest contradictions of the @KagutaMuseveni regime.

In our education system, medical courses—certificate, diploma, or degree, are the most expensive, the most demanding, and the most mentally exhausting. Nursing, midwifery, laboratory sciences, and medicine itself require sleepless nights, endless reading, and constant assessment.

Yet paradoxically, these are among the most undervalued professions in the country.

Consider the costs:

Certificate or diploma nursing/midwifery: UGX 1.6M – 2.5M per semester excludiing other requirements

Laboratory and allied sciences, similar ranges

Bachelor of Medicine: UGX 7M – 10M per semester for 5 years, excludiing other requirements+ clinical costs

After graduation, the burden does not end. One must obtain a professional license, renewed annually, whether employed or not. Many graduates pay simply to remain legal while jobless.

Today, the largest pool of unemployed and underpaid graduates in Uganda are medical practitioners, yet our public hospitals remain critically understaffed.

Doctors and nurses are overworked, exhausted, and burned out because they are too few to serve a growing population.

Those who attempt to employ themselves by opening up clinics face crushing barriers, multiple licenses, taxes, inspections, and regulations that often shut them down before they stabilize.

Meanwhile, the most expensive job prices in the country are still medical jobs, ranging from UGX 8M to 30M, effectively selling public service to the highest bidder.

Government response is silence.

And this crisis is not because Uganda lacks money, NO. It is because Ugandan lives are not a priority.

Public funds are casually spent on musicians, propaganda, and patronage, while hospitals lack staff, medicine, and dignity.
Ironically, some beneficiaries of this waste later fall sick, seek private treatment abroad, or complain yet we warned them.

So here is the uncomfortable question:

👉 What should government do if it is unwilling or unable to employ the thousands of medical graduates it produces every year?

We saw government suspend enrollment of Grade III teachers due to oversupply.
Should the same evidence-based planning apply to the health sector?
Should enrollment of certificate nurses and other cadres be temporarily halted?
Or should government instead massively expand recruitment, improve pay, and regulate tuition fees?

A serious government plans.

What do you think?
Let’s debate facts, reason, and solutions only.

The newly formed UGANDA HEALTH PROFESSIONS ASSESSMENT BOARD (UHPAB) is threatening the future of thousands of health students. We well know that students are the major stake holders in any education setting

Today marks yet another turning point driven by decisions I can’t help but question. The implementation of this newly formed policy has left many of students confused, disappointed and deeply concerned about the direction things are heading . 
Policies are meant to foster growth, inclusivity and progress.

Yet, this latest move does the exact opposite it alienates those who should be uplifted and undermines the trust that communities place in their leaders .
When decisions are made without transparent dialogue or participation from those most affected, everyone loses.

Policies built without transparent consultation erode trust in institutions. By ignoring stakeholder input and the realities students face, UHPAB risks alienating the very community it serves.

If mass dropouts or demotivation follow, Uganda’s health sector will feel the impact for years to come .
This sweeping change threatens not only academic mobility but also the mental wellbeing of students.

The looming possibility of repeating an entire semester due to a solitary retake is driving up stress, anxiety and even depression among Uganda’s next generation of health workers.

Families already stretched thin face the added burden of extra tuition and loss of investment, putting education further out of reach for many .

With this in mind, I join fellow students, parents and concerned citizens in urging @Parliament_Ug intervene immediately.

Suspend the "Zero-Retake" policy, restore common sense academic standards and demand that UHPAB consult publicly before making future changes.

The future of Uganda’s healthcare system and the hopes of countless trainees depend on compassionate and fair governance.

Let’s speak up 🗣️, share our stories and demand a change that reflects the values of education, equity and hope. #StopZeroRetake #ProtectUgandaStudents #EducationForAll

The English premier league which is arguably the biggest league in the world has had this same format for over 70 years , what’s so wrong about this format

And I am asking as an ignorant person, what’s so bad or detrimental about a two leg competition and whoever comes out on top takes the title

It’s globally renowned, please educate us about the minuses of the current format and then we can dive into the positives of the new one

According to that Seeta statement, The students jumped into the swimming pool including one who couldn't swim....then the rest of the students who knew how to swim got out of the pool and somehow didn't realize their friend had drowned....it was later they did a roll call and remembered that their friend who couldn't swim was still in the pool......Thats ABSOLUTE GARBAGE

If @URAuganda can exempt Chinese traders from taxes on their raw materials, I so believe it can do the same to Ugandan traders. We believe that such institutions should work for the citizens

You find Ugandans admitted on mulago cold floors and you think we are a poor country.

Meanwhile URA staff are receiving a bigger budget for medical supplies than the national referral hospital.
