Ndejje University has reinforced its commitment to delivering quality, industry-relevant education through the continued implementation of the Competence-Based Education and Training (CBET) framework, in line with directives from the National Council for Higher Education (NCHE).

This commitment was demonstrated during a two-day CBET staff training held on 25th and 26th May 2026 at the Bishop Kisekka(Block D )Computer Laboratory. Organized by the Quality Assurance Directorate,and the Directorate of Research and Innovation, the training brought together 128 academic and administrative staff from across faculties and departments to strengthen their capacity in competency-based curriculum design and delivery.

Participants represented the faculties of Law; Business Administration and Management; Engineering and Survey; Science and Computing; Health Sciences; Education and Humanities; Environment and Agricultural Sciences; as well as key administrative units.

Opening the session, DVC.AA, Dr. Christopher Mayanja emphasized that CBET is central to transforming higher education by equipping learners with practical skills, problem-solving abilities, and competencies demanded by today’s workforce.

Facilitators Dr. Gitta Amos, Dr. Mbaziira James, Dr. Kansiime Grace, and Dr. John Bosco Niyomukiza guided participants through core aspects of CBET, including curriculum development aligned with NCHE standards and the Uganda Higher Education Qualifications Framework (UHEQF). Staff were trained on formulating measurable learning outcomes, drafting competency statements, and aligning teaching methods and assessments with expected learner competencies.

The training also covered the cognitive, psychomotor, and affective domains of learning under CBET, with emphasis on learner-centred, experiential, and industry-linked approaches. Participants explored practical strategies for curriculum refinement, competency mapping, internships, projects, and continuous assessment.

Facilitators noted that all higher education institutions are expected to align their academic programmes to CBET by the 2027/2028 intake. Staff were encouraged to redesign course units, develop measurable outcomes, and adopt innovative teaching methods that prioritize competence acquisition over content memorization.

Ndejje University also highlighted the role of quality assurance in curriculum development, providing guidance on programme rationale, governance structures, competency alignment, and learner-centred assessment strategies in line with national standards.

Through such initiatives, Ndejje University continues to position itself as a forward-looking institution committed to academic excellence, innovation, and producing graduates with practical skills for national and global development.
