KAMPALA, Uganda – The Aga Khan University, which spans three countries in East Africa, has announced ambitious plans to invest over $1.1 billion over the next 15 years the largest investment in higher education in the history of the region.
The Aga Khan, who was recently in Uganda and also the Chancellor of the University, was speaking at a ceremony for 87 graduates from the School of Nursing and Midwifery. He is also the founder and chairman of the Aga Khan Development Network.
“It’s not so much that twelve thousand people were educated at AKU, but rather that one person was educated here – and that this individual life-transforming story has happened,” he said.
The degree of Bachelor of Science in Nursing was conferred upon 22 graduates while 27 graduates were conferred with the Diploma in General Nursing
Graduands were asked to have a multiplier effect that would help in building society since in the end important accomplishments are not measured by quantity but by quality.
