Investment in secondary education provides a clear boost to economic development, much more
than can be achieved by universal primary education alone and this accounts for Since the
beginning of the twentieth century onward, education, schooling, science, technology,
knowledge and training have become important elements as regards the productivity of
individuals and It is clear that a limited number of educated people may affect the economic
growth negatively One of the main indicators that education plays an important role on the
economic growth is that developed countries with high economic growth have good human
capital with higher standards of schooling strategies, Individuals tend to continue their higher
education because they think that they can find better jobs and earn more as compared to other
individuals with average schooling. The study concluded that Professional learning in online
environments and through social networking holds promise, although evidence on these modes
from both research and practice is limited. The study also recommended that the government
through Hoima district should establish public technical schools where students are trained from.
NGOS like world vision, UN organizations should come in to improve the life standards of the
people of Kitoba Sub County hence growth and development. Hoima District must do all it can
to establish a solid common ground and cooperation, as individually the Kitoba Sub-County is
too weak either in population or purchasing power. Interdependence is a sign of maturity and
cooperation is essential for survival
