Kenya’s implementation of a dual certification system – awarding both academic and skills-based credentials – is prompting renewed calls in Uganda to reinstate its own suspended program. Ugandan teachers, parents, and education officials are urging the Ministry of Education and Sports to revive the stalled initiative. The original program faced initial support from parents, who are now expressing disappointment at its indefinite pause. Advocates believe a dual certification approach would better prepare students for the job market by validating practical skills alongside traditional academic achievement. The Kenyan model is being viewed as a potential catalyst for change in Uganda’s education system. The move highlights a regional discussion on modernizing education to meet evolving workforce demands.
