Prof. Anthony Muwagga Mugagga, Principal of the College of Education and External Studies (CEES), described the meeting as a milestone:
โThis was an inception meeting between Makerere University and Astria Learning to kickstart the debate of a possible collaboration. The Vice Chancellor met Astria Learning during an official visit to Zambia, and the idea emerged from there. The concept reflects the emergence of new study spaces, with AI and robotics becoming integral to modern pedagogy. Makerereโs 2020โ2030 Strategic Plan is research-led, and technology-driven learning is now unavoidable.โ
