Abstract
This study is carried out to investigate Uganda's Junior Technical Education
and its contribution to human development. Before further discussion some key
concepts used in the study are briefly clarified below: Many people are viewing with alarm the crisis of Technical education and the
education systems in Uganda and all over Africa. As a result many questions or issues
are being raised because education does not meet the people's expectations/needs. One
of the questions being asked is, the education's contribution to human development as
a person. Seemingly, all over Africa, technical education programmes are formulated
with employment aspect in mind only, ignoring the development of the person as a
whole. Students complete their education without skills on how to make life on their
own.
