"Our children, our future. Our future, our children," said Mrs. Janet Museveni, Minister of Education and First Lady of Uganda as she signed the poster to officially launch the Active Teaching and Learning Guide on 2 September 2016 in Kampala. This guide was created under the Teacher Training Education project of the Ministry of Education and Sports, supported by BTC.

The objective of the guide is to support teacher training colleges to create a teaching and practice-oriented learning environment, so as to improve the quality of teaching and learning in teacher education.The guide was specifically designed to train all teacher educators in Business, Technical and Vocational Education and Training, Health Education and General Secondary Education. It was piloted for a year with about three hundred Lecturers of five National Teachers' Colleges, three Instructors' Colleges and one Health Tutors' College. The initial training involved several face-to-face sessions, followed by the application of Active Teaching and Learning in lecture rooms. This offered an opportunity for the authors to frequently refine the content in order to suit the requirements for training a teacher of the twenty-first century.

One thousand copies will be distributed to all lecturers of the nine National Teachers' Colleges in Uganda. The guide will also be given to Primary Teachers' Colleges, Makerere University, Kyambogo University and the Ministry of Education and Sports.
