" Learning another language is not only learning different words for the same things, but learning another way to think about things." – Flora Lewis

The advantages of learning a new or foreign languages are mushrooming as the world becomes increasingly globalized and bilingualism is now perhaps the most useful real world skill to ever exist, rather than just being a nifty party trick. If you’re thinking about making the effort to learn a new or foreign language rather than expecting the world to accommodate your monolingualism, you are a rare breed indeed. Blossoming into the impressive polyglot you aspire to be is 100% feasible with the right approach and mindset.
Language study is all about learning how to truly communicate and connect with others—an incredibly important life skill that can only be cultivated by interacting with people. When you master a language, you can exercise your new superhuman power of being able to understand what someone is saying, recall the proper vocab and grammar, put that vocab and grammar into the proper context, and reply back—all on the spot and in a timely manner.

Prime Institute of Lifelong Learning and Vocational Studies presents an opportunity for you to enjoy the full benefits of learning a new languages. These Languages include among others;

English
Arabic
Kiswahili
French
Chinese

Five things you should never do in life.

1. Never mock a person who has faith in God even if you are an atheist. This is another way to say have regards for what people believe in.
When you respect peoples’ opinions about what they believe in, you too will be respected for what you consider supreme and worthy of your praise.

Think about the world and what it will look like if everyone had one thought about everything if everyone believes in only one religion, can you make out anything good from it?

Most people who have disregards for what other people believe in are people who have not come close to know what their religion is all about. Yet this will surely affect their interactions with people in their day to day activities, that one might question to know your religion so as to ascertain the level of interactions that will be allowed.

2. Never smoke for fun.

This is one of the things you should never do in life. If you do once, you can easily be addicted to smoking and spoil your life.

You must have heard about the dangerous effect of smoking and numerous warnings from the ministry of health in your country, yet you want to try it for fun!

Many people who are addicted to smoking today, started from testing what it feels like to smoke and today they can’t go back on smoking.

3. Never be surrounded by failed people when you fail in life.

No one hopes to be a failure but in most cases, it happens like an accident to us, and if we can’t prevent it, it comes but when it does we can remedy it depending on the type of people we surround ourselves with.

There are a number of people who believe in the saying, “It has been so” people of this nature do not accept change easily, their thoughts are engraved on failures, and if you surround yourself with them when you fail, you will further be dragged down in failure.

This is just like seeking a piece of relationship advice from a divorcee, the divorcee will give you thousands if not millions of reasons to quit yours, always keep people with good vibes around you.

4. Never work hard.

You should not take working hard as an encouragement rather suffering, there are a good number of persons out there who are very unable to draw a parallel line between working hard and suffering.

Working hard sounds positive but if you do it with a burden on your shoulder then that's suffering. Work smart, not hard.

According to Charles Darwin in his Theory of Species, it is not the strongest or largest of the species that survives, but one most responsive to change.

Been responsive to change, is been smart, knowing what to do at different times and how well to do them, makes you a smart person. The world-known successful persons are also known for their smartness to utilize opportunities or even create one when none is available.

5. Never emphasize your work over your family.

No matter what type of job you do or how much you get paid doing it, remember it is family first, your wife and children are more important than everything in this world. You should always make out time to have nice moments with your family members, this is a way of giving back and building a great sense of belonging.

A good start is making out time to hang around with them at the beach, shopping mall or jug around interesting places or even go on tourism.

After UCE Exams, what Next?

This week on Wednesday 7th February 2018, UNEB released Uganda Certificate of Education Exams. Many students passed with flying colors and as it has been a practice, parents are looking for the best A level Schools for their children. It's only a few parents who have the option of sending their children to vocational institutes.
According our education system and the World over, after Ordinary level, a student can join a University for a Certificate Course for one or two years which is an equivalent of Advanced Level Certificate and a requirement for admission to a Diploma Course. In Uganda, a number of students don't further their education especially after UACE Exams due to a number of reasons including but not limited to finances challenges and failure on their part to get two principal passes or one principal and a subsidiary pass for a Degree and Diploma admission respectively. There are also those who give up completely and yet others feel so inferior to enroll for Certificate Courses because they used to assure their school mates about studying Law, Engineering, Medicine among others. Our Career guidance teachers and other professionals in the same field have not done enough to guide parents and students depending on their academic competencies and the parents financial ability. In Uganda we have had Phd Holders, Associate Professors who never sat for UCE and or UACE exams. Go to these government Teacher Training Colleges you will find them, especially those who started from grade II, III upwards.
There is a misconception in Uganda that to be considered educated, you must hold a University degree. Little do people know that there's a difference between going through the University and the University going through you. These are totally different. In Uganda we have many graduates whose skills elapse immediately after University due to unemployment. If degrees were the only prerequisite for success, these structures in Kampala would be owned by business and economic professors. It's hard work, character, discipline in addition to the academic credentials.
Let's advise and guide our children to join vocational institutes and do practical work. One can equally achieve success with a certificate. There are successful people in the political, social and economic spheres of life without any qualifications or formal education .
Yes you can

This 93 years old man graduated from high school last year. There are so many adults who didn't complete their Primary, Secondary and or College Education, It's never to late to continue with your learning.

Let's congratulate this man!

Importance of Adult Education

Who says learning shouldn’t continue into adulthood? Adult education gives mature learners the chance to increase their knowledge, develop new skills and gain helpful qualifications and credentials.

The importance of adult education is difficult to overstate. Adult education plays an important role in helping learners develop new skills and improve the career prospects available to them.

What is adult education?

Adult education is education aimed at mature students that have already taken part in the workforce. Learning as a mature student gives individuals the chance to gain new skills and expand their knowledge.

Adult education can take many forms and cover many different subjects. As well as literacy and numeracy, many adult learners or students study languages, sciences and a range of other important subjects.
