2  I congratulate the graduands for their successful completion of their studies and also thank the parents and guardians for their sacrifice to support the students, throughout their school life. Investment in building our country’s human capacity is the most valuable contribution which parents and guardians can make to the future of our nation.
Everyone that has cared for our graduands deserves a thunderous round of applause. My remarks today will highlight the dynamic environment in Uganda and what that entails for our education system and the competitiveness of our graduates. First, the competitiveness of our graduates in the labour market depends on multiple qualities.
