Kampala University Conducts Gender Responsive Pedagogy Training and Launches Tuseme Club
Kampala University has strengthened its assurance to inclusive and equitable education following a two-day Gender Responsive Pedagogy (GRP) training conducted by the Forum for African Women Educationalists (FAWE) Uganda at the University's Mutundwe Campus.
The training, held on Thursday and Friday, 5th–6th November 2026, brought together members of staff from all Kampala University campuses to enhance their understanding and application of gender-responsive approaches in teaching, learning and institutional management.
Fully facilitated by FAWE Uganda, the training equipped participants with knowledge and practical skills on promoting gender equality, inclusive classroom practices, learner-centred approaches and the creation of safe and supportive learning environments.
Among the key areas covered were gender-responsive lesson planning, appropriate classroom language, teaching and learning materials, classroom management, gender-based violence, sexual harassment, human rights and the importance of providing equal opportunities for all learners.
The training emphasised the responsibility of educators to recognise the different learning needs of students, eliminate gender stereotypes and ensure that every learner is respected, supported and given an equal opportunity to participate and excel.
KAMPALA UNIVERSITY TUSEME CLUB LAUNCHED
In another significant development, the University used the same occasion on Friday, 6th November 2026, to officially launch the Kampala University Tuseme Club, an initiative aimed at empowering students to speak out on issues affecting their lives, education and communities.
Tuseme, a Swahili word meaning "Let's Speak Out," encourages students to develop confidence, leadership and communication skills while speaking against injustices, discrimination and other practices that undermine a conducive learning environment.
The launch also saw the constitution of the club's student leadership, with Ms Amoit Miriam appointed as Chairperson. She is a student at Kampala University's Mutundwe Campus.
The establishment of the club is expected to provide students with a platform to express their views, raise concerns, challenge harmful practices and actively contribute to creating a respectful, inclusive and supportive university community.
The two activities marked a significant milestone for Kampala University, combining staff capacity-building in Gender Responsive Pedagogy with student empowerment through the Tuseme initiative.
Kampala University Management sincerely appreciates FAWE Uganda for fully facilitating the training and supporting the launch of the Tuseme Club. The University looks forward to strengthening this partnership in advancing inclusive, equitable and quality education.
Team FAWE was ;lead by Ms.Gloria and TEAM KU was lead by Dr.Ssimbwa Peter the Deputy Academic Registrar.
