Kadaga asks Ugandan nursery school teachers to emulate Cuban counterparts

Speaker of Parliament Rebecca Kadaga has asked Ugandan nursery school teachers to emulate their Cuban counterparts to help Ugandans change their attitude towards vocational education.
Kadaga says that on her recent visit to Cuba, she noticed that three-year-old children play games in chemistry, physics, hairdressing and other vocational skills.
She said that children need to learn vocational skills while at nursery level. “These skills are shortcuts to vocational training, compared to the white collar jobs which are creating unemployment,” she said.
She was speaking at the launch of the SOS children’s villages Youth Can Initiative, at the Kampala Serena Hotel on Wednesday.
