One of the basic requirements for achieving quality of education for human capital development is the availability of teachers who are competent and effective in the education system. In the light of this viewpoint the National Teacher Policy recommended the establishment of two key entities the National Teacher Council (NTC) and the Uganda National Institute for Teacher Education (UNITE). The two entities are now in the process of being established to improve the teacher quality through professional teacher education and training.

The vision for UNITE is Professionally competent and competitive teacher for National Development. This vision was developed on basis of the product of UNITE rather than the process and is derived from the broad vision of the Uganda’s National Teacher Policy (NTP 5.2).
