School of Education Futures and Human Capability
Teaching the teachers of the intelligent age
No country can build an intelligent economy faster than it can build the teachers who prepare people for it. Leading systems have already created dedicated artificial intelligence education majors precisely because of a shortage of qualified teaching professionals, and Uganda's science and mathematics teacher deficit is among the most consequential constraints on every other ambition in this document. This School is Forward University multiplying itself: it produces the learning engineers, teachers, workforce specialists and applied psychologists who will carry the model into schools, ministries, companies and other universities across the continent. It is also the School that holds the University to its own evidence, since every claim made in Part B about capability verification must survive the scrutiny of people trained here.
