The National Council for Higher Education (NCHE) has yet again confirmed that Victoria University’s Online learning is over 80% effective compared to other higher institutions of learning in the country.
Victoria University, a technologically-enabled institution of higher learning has taken the lead in Uganda’s education sector both physical and virtual classes and according to management, this has been possible due to massive investments in learning facilities just for the benefit of its students.
Victoria University is the only higher institution of learning that offers its students the opportunity to study anywhere, anytime, access to free textbooks, and graduates with work experience.
Last year, NCHE granted Victoria University a Charter Status that allows it to offer and award Master’s and Doctorate programs.
In a letter dated December 15th addressed to the Vice-Chancellor Victoria University, the NCHE Deputy Executive Director, Rev Canon Alex M. Kagume confirmed the board’s decision to grant Victoria University a charter following its continued efforts in revolutionizing the education sector in the country despite the covid-19 pandemic side effects.
“This is to inform you that Council during its 63rd Meeting held on 13, December 2021, considered and resolved to recommend to the Minister the grant of a Charter to Victoria University in accordance with Section 101(3) b of the Universities and Other Tertiary Institutions Act 2001, as amended.,” the letter reads in part.
The Charter which takes effect upon gazettement and final approval by the President will now see Victoria University award Doctorate Programs alongside its undergraduate programs currently being offered.
“As you may be aware, the law provides for requisite procedures governing the grant of a Charter. This involves the submission of the Charter to the Minister responsible for Education who then presents it to the President for final approval, before gazettement of the same,” the letter adds.
It’s also worth noting that NCHE recently approved Victoria University’s Charter Status that allows it to offer and award Masters and Doctorate programs.
