Clarke International University pleads for charter
Clarke International University has pleaded with the government of Uganda for a charter that will allow better operation of the institution.
Speaking during the Institution’s 14th graduation ceremony on Saturday, the Institution’s Vice Chancellor, Professor Rose Clarke Nanyonga, said that they have strived to fulfill the National Council of Higher Education’s requirements for eligibility to receive the charter and that in November last year, they underwent the final assessment inspection to receive it which they have not yet received, further underscoring its importance for the university, in safeguarding the future of their students and the alumni community.
“Additionally, we have persistently pursued the Charter, acknowledging its significance in securing the university’s future. We anticipate that the endorsement of the Charter by the NCHE and awarded by His Excellency the President of the Republic of Uganda will fortify our ongoing journey in the realm of higher education,”Prof Nanyonga said.
“We have undertaken the journey to attain the charter status. We have strived to fulfill the National Council for Higher Education requirements that include some key areas; we have committed university founders, we have a sound governance in place, we have robust infrastructure, human resources, outstanding faculty, all our programs are accredited or under review, we have established student services and notable output which continues to grow every year,” she added.
