Under Part VII of the TVET Act, 2025, Governing Councils are established to manage National Polytechnics and the proposed National Technical University . These councils are designed to bring high-level strategic oversight to the apex institutions of the TVET system.
While the Act does not explicitly list an "8-member" council in the previewed text, it provides the legal foundation for the Minister to determine the specific membership. According to the Act, Governing Councils are responsible for the overall policy, administration, and strategic direction of these premier institutions, including the appointment of senior staff such as the Principal . The Act also empowers these councils to establish committees to handle specific functions, ensuring effective governance.
Mbale College of Health Sciences management successfully swore in 8 members of the governing council.
