First Lady and Minister of Education and Sports, Janet Kataha Museveni, has praised Dr. Frank Ntege Kiyimba, Director of Kampala School of Health Sciences (KSHS), for his visionary commitment to investing in the training of healthcare professionals—a model she encouraged others to emulate.

Her remarks were delivered on her behalf by Dr. Safina Kisu Musene, Commissioner for Health Education and Training at the Ministry of Education and Sports, during the Sixth graduation ceremony of KSHS’s new Nursing School campus in Buloba, Wakiso District.

A total of 255 students graduated with certificates and diplomas in various medical-related disciplines.

Of these, 150 (59%) were female, a statistic that impressed the First Lady.

She commended the progress in female enrollment, noting that more girls are now seizing opportunities in critical sectors like healthcare, which plays a pivotal role in saving lives.

Mrs. Museveni also acknowledged the significant contribution of Dr. Kiyimba and the KSHS Board.

She recognized their bold decision, made 13 years ago, to invest their limited resources into building capacity in the health sector through training.

Dr. Musene also shared updates on the government’s implementation of the amended Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) Act, which came into effect on March 13, 2025. She stressed that the revised policy prioritizes skills and competency-based training aligned with labor market needs, aiming to boost employability and drive national economic growth.

Under the new framework, institutions are required to regularly submit their curriculum profiles for validation.

This ensures consistent quality, relevance of training, and compliance across all institutions offering vocational education.

Dr. Musene urged all graduating students to register for an operational license within their first year post-graduation immediately upon receiving results to avoid being considered unauthorized practitioners.

During the ceremony, KSHS Governing Council Chairman, Bbosa Kiwanuka Peter, and Main Campus Principal, Mubangizi Prosper, appealed to the First Lady for technical support.

Their requests included transportation resources such as a bus to facilitate student travel to internship hospitals, among other logistical needs.

Guest speaker Patrick Kibirango Mpiima, former Registrar of the Allied Health Professionals Council, raised concerns about students from the Presidential Initiative on Skilling the Girl/Boy Child (PISGB). He pointed out that many certificate graduates from these centers face challenges advancing to TVET diploma programs due to misalignments in curriculum standards. He called on the government to harmonize training frameworks to ensure these students are not left behind.
