Unite History
The establishment of the Uganda National Institute for Teacher Education (UNITE) stems from the 2013 Teacher Initiative in Sub-Saharan Africa (TISSA) study, which highlighted the need for improved teacher standards. This study informed the development of Uganda’s National Teacher Policy (NTP), which was approved in April 2019. The NTP recommended the creation of UNITE to address gaps in teacher training and to phase out diploma-level programmes in favour of degree and postgraduate programmes.
As a result, UNITE was established on 5th July 2024 through a Statutory Instrument No. 53 of 2024 under the Universities and Other Tertiary Institutions Act (UOTIA), Cap. 262, as an Other Degree Awarding Institution (ODAI) mandated to provide teacher education at all levels, ranging from initial teacher training to graduate teacher training, and Continuous Professional Development (CPD).
The overall goal of UNITE is to improve the quality of education and the teaching profession by preparing motivated, competent, innovative, adaptable, effective, and accountable professional teachers.
The Institute operates a multi-campus model, with its Headquarters located in Kira Municipality (formerly Shimoni Core PTC) and other campuses located in Kabale, Kaliro, Mubende, Muni (Arua), and Unyama (Gulu). All campuses are fully operational.
