Govt clears school practice for student teachers
February 19, 2021 Students at Kampala University s PTC entrance
The ministry of Education and Sports has approved the commencement of school practice when schools reopen for non-candidates starting March 1.
Previously, the ministry had delayed the activity creating fear that final year student teachers could take longer than expected to be passed out.
However, Jonathan Kamwana, commissioner Teacher/Tutor Instructor Education and Training (TIET) says they have now agreed that teacher trainees can go for school practice in a staggered manner.

“School practice will be done in tandem with the new staggered school schedule. When a section of learners reports to school, the teacher trainees who wish to carry out their school practice in that very class will immediately go for school practice,” says Kamwana.

The highly infectious viral disease has killed millions worldwide. Locally as of December 25, 2020, official statistics from the ministry of Health show that at least 245 Ugandans have died from Covid-19 while the cumulative confirmed cases have shot to 33,563 since the disease emerged in the country in March.
