CABUTE is committed to enhancing teacher education in Uganda by promoting capacity building. To support this goal, we have awarded scholarships to 16 teacher educators pursuing master’s degrees and 4 educators working towards PhDs, ensuring they acquire the essential qualifications needed for their roles.

Additionally, our PostDoc scholarships focus on advancing the expertise of educators who have already earned their PhDs.

Collectively, these initiatives make a significant contribution to educational research in Uganda, particularly in areas crucial to the development of teacher education.

CABUTE is funded by Norad under their NORHED II-programme.
