As the COVID-19 pandemic persisted, the government of Uganda together with Ministry of Education and Sports authorized education institutions especially universities to implement ODeL (Open Distance e-Learning) teaching and
learning to enable education continuity and avoid students from lagging behind. The study used secondary sources to suggest preparation measures, identify ODeL challenges and suggested recommendations. The results indicated: a consistent, wholistic university approach; maintenance of learning outcomes; enduring student-centric, regular and clear communication; creation of many training platforms available in all sizes and shapes; avoidance of mistakes; and the situation though not being perfect, but was going on well

To conclude, the point range of the arithmetic mean was considered. The study found that the common indiscipline among learners in IUIU included disrespect to teachers and school rules and regulations, theft, and irregular attendance. The study recommended IUIU administration improves staff remuneration to change the status of the teachers. Furthermore, the administration needs to tighten security in the university and residents need to take care of their property to avoid theft.

Massification or Quality of Graduates?
Matovu, Musa
Massification of higher education is inevitable in the development process of Uganda where the country’s Gross Enrollment Ratio (GER) is at 6.8%. Massification in Uganda was introduced with an aim of higher education becoming accessible to all. This paper analyzes the multifaceted debates regarding higher education and development in Uganda. These debates include; (a) massification of higher education leads to development, and (b) training quality graduates leads to development. Against the two debates the government of Uganda has failed to take an appropriate position on whether it is for massification or producing quality of graduates. This literature review answers three broad questions; (i)Does massification of higher education lead to development in Uganda? (ii) Does training of a few quality graduates lead to development in Uganda? And, (iii) what is the best model for higher education in Uganda? With the increasing numbers of students enrolled in higher education institutions higher education has been faced with enormous challenges such as inadequate funding and staffing, deteriorating standards, low quality graduates, high student-staff ratio, poor physical facilities, and insufficient equipment. This paper makes suggestions on how massification in higher education can create a critical mass of human resources that can lead to economic development in Uganda
