BANK OF UGANDA  Remarks by Louis Kasekende (PhD.) Deputy Governor, Bank of Uganda  At the Public Dialogue on Higher Education in Uganda  Office of the President Main Auditorium, Kampala May 23, 2017  1  The Link Between Higher Education and Development: Myth or Reality? 1.
Introduction The theme of my remarks today is that Uganda’s economic development requires workers with higher education, but that our higher education system serves those needs poorly. Too many people receive higher education given the demands of the labour market, both currently and in terms of how it might plausibly develop in the future.
