Uganda has developed and put in place several policies, as well as a legal and an institutional framework, to oversee the operations of Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) institutions. Uganda Business and Technical Vocational Education and Training (UBTVET) promotes an integrated, demanddriven, and competency-based modular system. The Directorate of Industrial Training (DIT) provides policy direction and sets skills development standards (Budget Monitoring and Accountability Unit, 2019). Uganda Business and Technical Examinations Board (UBTEB) manages arrangements for defining qualifications (standards, testing, and certification).

Uganda Vocational Qualification Framework (UVQF) aligns TVET training and qualifications with the needs of the labor market (Ministry of Education and Sports, 2016). Despite their existence in black and white, their effectiveness in streamlining the operations of vocational training providers in Uganda remains wanting (Ministry of Education and Sports, 2011; Butler & Kebba, 2014; UNESCO, 2015; Kizza, Damba, & Kasule, 2019). Building on these foundations, the study was undertaken. It was about quality assurance policies and instructors’ pedagogical performance in vocational training institutions in Lango sub-region, Northern Uganda.
