He, however, says an evening course degree will not be used to claim some opportunities at work. \u201cIf it is not the employer who has sent the civil servant to study, the latter will get nothing,\u201d he says. Ntirampeba mentions that the degree may be used to apply for other opportunities elsewhere and the evening classes will continue as usual.<\/p>\n<p>The spokesperson for the Office of the Second Deputy President says the identification will allow the government to exactly know the background of its civil servants so that it establishes regulations for the programs.<\/p>\n<p>In the correspondence addressed to two ministers on 28 February, D\u00e9o Mpfubusa, Chief of Staff in the Office of the Second Deputy President said the evening studies are not regular.
