Daily Monitor Tuesday April 06 2021 Summary Choosing to cut off one branch of education is not only an attack on education as a discipline but also an assumption that education stops with formal schooling Advertisement On March 31, 2021, the country woke up to yet another alarming headline from Makerere University, ‘Makerere scraps courses’. Restructuring of courses is indeed a good thing but must be underscored by genuine reasons. When I looked through the list, I noticed that most scrapped course were more of offshoots of retained mother courses like engineering and economics. That is perfectly fine. In fact, what is allegedly scrapped is actually retained as specialisations. My focus and surprise, however, is with the ‘scrapped’ Bachelor of Adult and Community Education (BACE).
