KAMPALA- Today, the Executive Director of Uganda Communication Commission (UCC), Mr. Nyombi Thembo delivered an inspiring keynote address on “Transforming higher education through integration of emerging technologies” at the 18th graduation ceremony of ISBAT University in Kampala.
Reflecting on the profound impact of technology on the world today, he urged institutions of higher learning to embrace innovation as a catalyst for relevance and growth. As the pace of technological change accelerates, universities must evolve beyond traditional teaching models to become spaces of knowledge creation, experimentation and impact, he said, adding: “Artificial Intelligence can deliver knowledge, but it cannot inspire curiosity. Virtual Reality can simulate empathy, but it cannot feel compassion. The true power of education lies in the human spirit in mentorship, dialogue, and discovery.”
UCC works with academic institutions to advance digital literacy, innovation, and inclusivity in alignment with the national digital transformation agenda.
