Namasale Technical Institute in Namasale town council, Amolatar district, held a special dedication prayer service on Thursday, November 12, 2026
At least 1,002 candidates have been prepared to sit their Uganda Vocational and Technical Assessment Board (UVTEB) examinations.
The ceremony, held at the institute premises, brought together candidates, parents, teachers, and local leaders to pray for the students’ success, discipline, and well-being during the national assessment period.
Speaking at the event, the Principal of Namasale Technical Institute, Canon Moses Ogwal Owiny, assured parents of the institution’s academic strength, describing it as one of the leading technical institutes in the country.
He encouraged parents to continue entrusting the institution with their children’s education.
Canon Owiny expressed confidence that the 1,002 candidates would perform exceptionally well. To motivate the teaching staff, he announced a cash reward of shs2 million for the best-performing subject teacher in the upcoming examinations.
However, he appealed to the Amolatar District Local Government for increased financial and infrastructural support, saying the institute had been overlooked for a long time despite its rapid growth.
Responding to the principal’s appeal, the Guest of Honour, Moris Ogwal Omara, pledged full government support to Namasale Technical Institute.
He assured the administration that the institution would receive equal treatment alongside other public institutions.
Omara also promised to provide the institute with a vehicle in good mechanical condition to support students during practical lessons.
In addition, he pledged targeted assistance for the agriculture department.
He commended the parents and students for choosing an institution that equips young people with practical, hands-on skills.
Representing the parents, Yapi CP advised the candidates and fellow parents to exercise discipline and self-control throughout the examination period.
He urged the students to be careful about what they consumed and to avoid irresponsible behaviour that could jeopardise their health and future.
Another parent, Moses Ogwal Opio from Dokolo District, praised Canon Owiny for his exemplary leadership.
He said the principal’s commitment was one of the main reasons many parents from neighbouring districts chose to enrol their children at Namasale Technical Institute.
Opio encouraged parents to take advantage of the current administration and enrol their children at the institute before Canon Owiny retires.
The institute’s head girl, Tracy Amule, thanked the teachers and parents for supporting the candidates.
She assured the gathering that the students were ready to perform well and applauded Principal Owiny for being a caring and supportive father figure.
The head prefect, Atim Emmanuel, also thanked the principal for giving the students an opportunity to know and serve God. He appreciated the parents and teachers for providing the necessary support and guidance.
Established in 1986, Namasale Technical Institute has grown significantly over the years. The institution currently has more than 1,000 students.
Despite its large population, it operates with only 13 teachers on the government payroll and relies on an additional 40 instructors funded through the Parents-Teachers Association (PTA).
