Looks a bit like the Ford Ka model to me. I doubt this 'car' and Uganda's potholes will mix. We already have Japanese trucks (or trolleys if u like) with similar engine power 2 the Tata Nano on Ugandan roads.

I will concur that something has to be done. If my memory serves me right, FoT has partnerships with many universities in Sweden, Norway and USA with which partnerships and exchange programs are active. In addition to this, FoT is a member of most of the online journal organizations. Publishing a paper is not difficult, however before a paper is published, its quality should be assessed. And for me, there-in lies the problem.

Having been a part of FoT, I regularly found that course notes, exercises and once, exams were picked word-for-word from other universities programs. This shows the lecturers aren't prepared to invest time in making a syllabus or exams that is geared toward the needs and requirements of the University. When confronted with this sad facts, you can understand why a paper,if published, wouldn't stand up to the scrutiny of the academic community.

In addition, if you talk to Dr.Lugujjo, he will tell you of how many of the students he has mentored and hoped to follow in his footsteps have left the University for private or better-paying jobs. The renumeration for a teaching assistant or assistant lecturer is peanuts compared to what is obtained in the working world and in Uganda, money comes first.

Schemes are in place to improve the financial situation but it might be hard to attract the best people to return to lecturing in Makerere.
