Students especially those in advanced level classes have been tipped to wisely choose subject combinations that would give them room to pursue reasonable courses at the higher institutions of learning.
Dr. John Sekajugo, a lecturer at the Mountains of the Moon University says they have started experiencing challenges of students seeking admission in universities but having mismatched subject combinations despite passing their examinations and obtaining the minimum entry qualifications.
He urges them to be critical in selecting combinations, noting that universities only admit students who pass at least two essential subjects for a particular course.
He also advised them to choose combinations that are within their means, warning the parents against forcing their children to take science subjects and yet they can only understand arts and humanities better.
Dr. Sekajugo also implored all the students to define their journey and seek career guidance from their teachers and parents in order to make proper choices and identify areas of concentration.
He made the remarks yesterdays while addressing the participants of the FAIDA 3 conference at Rwenzori International University in Kasese town. ENDS
