This was during the 5th Pedagogical Skills Training for Makerere University Assistant Lecturers held on Wednesday, 17th October 2018 in the Quality Assurance Tele-presence Center, Senate Building, Makerere University.
The three-day Training, was organized by the Directorate of Human Resources and drew 35 participants from the College of Engineering, Design Art and Technology (CEDAT) and College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences (CAES) with an aim of providing Assistant Lecturers with skills and techniques that will boost their teaching aptitude and advance the quality of teaching at Makerere University.

Emphasizing the issue of good legacy, Dr. David Onen, a Coordinator at the East African School of Higher Education Studies and Development urged the Assistant Lecturers to always adhere to good job ethics and professionalism as guidelines to deliver good services which will always help them leave a good legacy for their students.
“Let the job profession and ethics guide you if you are to leave a good legacy. Be that serious teacher who will be talked about by your students for being professionally upright by doing the right things in the right way. Let students appreciate your work after seeing the good fruits from you,” said Dr. Onen
The Dean of the East African School of Higher Education Studies and Development Dr. Ronald Bisaso recommended that all lecturers and teachers should undertake the Pedagogical Skills Training. “We are here to share what we know and learn what we don’t know, I therefore request that we openly share,” he said.
