Summary: It has been a common practice that some primary school leavers join community polytechnics, technical and farm schools, study for three years and are awarded a Uganda Junior Crafts Certificate (UTC), an equivalent of the Uganda Certificate of Education (UCE). However, the First Lady and Minister for Education and Sports, Hon. Janet Museveni, has said this practice needs to change to allow Primary Seven leavers to complete at least Senior Four, before they can transition to Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET).
