Dorrys Mutahunga, a local musician based in Western Uganda, has completed her Masters Degree program.
The folk singer and music teacher will be conferred upon a Degree of Master Of Education from Mbarara University of Science and Technology at their next graduation ceremony which is slated for January 2017.
With palpable joy, Dorrys shared news of her new milestone with fans on social media as she encouraged fellow musicians to also invest in education. She posted:
“With my letter of Masters award in my little hands, my name on the Academic Register’s list set for this January graduation, I can only say, May the lord’s name be praised!
I am here to encourage all especially my fellow artists/Musicians to invest in education given the opportunity. It might be a certificate, a degree or any certified qualification. Absolutely no amount of money will buy you what Education can. Education is a tool, powerfully liberating. It is elevating and never withers. Education stands the test of time and never runs out of season.
To my fans who have been patiently asking why the music had been a bit slow..now you have a worthy answer. Taking off the nine months to do this masters was by far the most challenging but fulfilling decision”
