Uganda Vice Chancellors' Forum - UVCF

UVCF CBET Training workshop 2026 at K Hotel Entebbe on 25th to 26th June 2026

The 78th UVCF General Meeting is to be held at Kyambogo University

The Uganda Vice Chancellors' Forum successfully organised the Academic Registrars’ Training Workshop at K Hotels.

The workshop brought together Academic Registrars and higher education administrators to share experiences, strengthen collaboration, and discuss innovative approaches to improving service delivery, digital transformation, academic records management, and student support in higher education institutions.

We appreciate all participants, facilitators, and partner institutions for contributing to the success of this important engagement towards advancing quality higher education in Uganda.

Makerere University today hosted the 6th Annual Prof. Senteza Kajubi Fulbright Memorial Lecture at the Main Hall under the theme, “Education Policy Reform as an Enabler of Student Success: The Kajubi Legacy.”

The lecture was presided over by the Vice Chancellor, Prof. Barnabas Nawangwe, and graced by the United States Ambassador to Uganda, William W. Popp. The keynote address was delivered by Dr. Mary Goretti Nakabugo, who highlighted critical priorities in education policy and learner outcomes.

The event brought together a distinguished audience including university leaders—among them several Vice Chancellors—policymakers, development partners, scholars, students, and members of Prof. Senteza Kajubi’s family.

A rich panel discussion—featuring Prof. Eriabu Lugujjo, Executive Director of UVCF, alongside other panelists—further explored the enduring impact of Prof. Kajubi’s contribution to education in Uganda.

The active engagement of participants underscored the continued relevance of Prof. Kajubi’s legacy in shaping inclusive and effective education systems.

The memorial lecture continues to serve as an important platform for advancing conversations on education reform and national development in Uganda.
