    (Kabale University, 2019) Adebayo, Sanni T.; ; John Michael, Edoru
    This article focuses on the use of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) as a strategy for delivering effective management of educational services in a cross-section of institutions of higher learning. Makerere University in Uganda is taken as a case study where ICT was introduced with the main aim of improving effectiveness in the delivery of educational services. ICT has become a tool of great importance in today’s business in all spheres of life globally. From commerce to aeronautics, medicine and education, the daily use of ICT is vital to the success of business. In the area of higher education management, ICT use is of central significance since universities of the contemporary world cannot afford to ignore the role that ICT plays in the running of their institutions as a business. As a matter of necessity, universities are therefore required to embrace ICT adoption in teaching/learning and administrative activities. This study discusses the concept of ICT, perceptions of stakeholders in the effectiveness of ICT adoption, educational services management and ICT, as well as strategies for effective ICT use in educational services management.

    Mentorship and supervision in Ugandan higher education institutions universities: challenges and prospects
    (Kabale University Interdisciplinary Research Journal (KURJ), 2022-12) John Michael, Edoru; Sanni Tajudeen, Adebayo
    The paper examined the current status of Mentorship and Supervision in Ugandan higher education institutions and universities and considered the ideal model of Mentorship and Supervision for a typical higher education institution and university. The paper then depicted the importance of Mentorship as one way of fostering effective and efficient service delivery at higher education institutions and universities. The ideal higher education institution or university should facilitate personal and professional development enabling individuals and groups to achieve their full potential. Mentoring is a dynamic way of facilitating such development. The higher education institution or university formally requires all its faculties to make arrangements for the mentoring of its newly appointed staff and newly admitted students. Mentoring at a higher education institution or university entails long time passing on of support, guidance and advice. The underlying factor in mentoring in the work place is that the more experienced colleague uses their greater knowledge and understanding of the work or workplace to support the development of a more junior or inexperienced member of staff. The Mentoring and Supervision discussed in this paper has been considered through the three strands of the mandate of the higher education institution which are: teaching, research and community service. Data concerning Mentorship and Supervision was obtained from a meta- analysis of documents such as reports, journals, articles and books concerning Mentorship in the Ugandan higher education institutions and universities. The overall mean score for the influence was 2.5 which indicates a low influence of mentorship and supervision on the career. The paper underscored the status of Mentorship and Supervision at the Ugandan higher education institutions and universities as low. Lastly, pointed out the challenges faced in mentoring staff and students and charted the way forward in the mentoring process at Ugandan higher education institutions and universities. Therefore, the study recommends that supervisors-supervisees relationships be improved to achieve higher graduate study completion rates
