    Institute of Teacher Education Kyambogo: Origins and Development
    (Institute of Teacher Education Kyambogo, 1998) C. B., Adupa; D. K., Mulindwa
    In this book the diversity of the origins of ITEK is analysed. The decision to start the Teacher Training College at Nyakasura and then transfer it to Mbarara within the space of a year is examined. The Whitehead years at Kyambogo and its interphase with the Grade V course is also analysed to show how the growth of the College into a Diploma awarding institution was from the outset marred with experiments. The struggle for autonomy, began by F.R Poskitt is then taken to greater heights by M.Y.G. Burua. In 1985 the entrance and exit of Makerere Faculty of Education is also subjected to scrutiny. The book then reflects on ITEK since 1985, a challenge that clearly carried with it the dilemma of the contemporary historian because the authors live in that history. Finally, an account of the Home Economics course is considered We hope that this humble contribution to knowledge about ITEK's past. will help to illustrate the point that development of the institution, though tortuous, has been inevitable. Secondly the Institutes history also demonstrates the fact that ITEK has come of age , especially with the merger deliberations.
