Is Striking The Only Solution To Makerere Woes?

 

It’s now two weeks days since Makerere students started demonstrations demanding that the 15% cumulative tuition policy is scrapped off.  In due course of the strikes, many students have been injured. Nine have been suspended while another 26 have been given warning letters. People's property continues to be destroyed.

Striking has become a heritage at Makerere University, this because almost every year a strike befalls and this complicates student's programs especially those from far and outside Uganda.

The Journalism Dream That Died in Infancy

A 25-year-old student of Makerere University says he’s watched helplessly as his dream of becoming a journalist evaporated.

Hershim Kaggwa, now pursuing a degree course in education, hasn’t given up as yet even after being frustrated and failing to get a job.

"I want to live a better life. I saw my dream die, I hated all media houses after being tossed up and down as I looked for a job,” Kaggwa says.
