Uganda’s oldest institution for higher learning, Makerere University has zeroed at decentralization of the issuance of academic transcripts, in order to ease service delivery.
Barnabus Nawangwe, the University Vice-Chancellor argues that many students have been finding it hard to collect their transcripts from the senate, something which has resulted into many of them losing out on prospective jobs.
He added that the academic registrar will starting next month be charged with sending students' transcripts to their respective colleges, so they can easily pick them.
According to Prof. Nawangwe, the verification exercise of students' results was also finalized and they have resumed issuing transcripts to all students who graduated at the beginning of this year.
The university has embarked on designing a new result management system.
A college review committee, headed by Prof. John David Kabaasa has been set up by the university's management to assist in evaluation and improvement of the college system at the university, which he says still has challenges.
