Schools Warned Over Failure To Implement New Curriculum

Posted by: Kyeyune Andrew Jonathan in Uganda news April 14, 2023

The government has continuously warned private schools that haven’t yet implemented the new lower secondary school curriculum. Enoc Kiyemba, the senior education officer of Luwero district says this new curriculum is going to take the place of the old one for good.

Therefore, he said schools that are ignoring it are wasting their time. They are also risking the future of their students as well.

Mr. Kiyemba went ahead to advise the schools to focus on addressing the challenges in the curriculum instead of ignoring them.

“In many schools, the new curriculum is still hard to implement. I want to encourage you where it has been challenging to find ways and means but ensure that this new curriculum is adhered to,” Kiyemba said.

He made these remarks as he officiated at the commissioning of a classroom block at Horizon high school in Luwero district. MTN Foundation donated the classroom block to the school.

Back in 2020, over 800 secondary school teachers were undergoing training for the new curriculum. They were based in eight districts of Uganda’s Busoga Sub-region.

However, they demonstrated saying this new curriculum is ‘highly lacking’. The demonstration ended in the arrest of one of the teachers demonstrating.
