Constraints and challenges
Inadequate resources for enhancement of University lecturers’ salary, leading to great attrition
rates. The sector is participating in the Omaswa Task force so as to find a lasting solution to this
challenge;
Inadequate resources to raise staff levels at Public Universities to at least 50% for academic
staff. The sector continues to engage with Ministry of Finance, Planning & Economic
Development in an effort to find funds.
UMI registered inadequate classroom/ICT laboratories/libraries, and office space.
