@Educ_SportsUg @NCDCUg MIN OF #EDUCATION: Both formative & summative assessment will be done. These have been agreed at 20% for formative or school based assessment & 80% for the summative assessment of UNEB at end of S4 which will lead to the award of UCE.

@Educ_SportsUg @NCDCUg MIN OF #EDUCATION: The current teaching & assessment is examinations driven focusing on acquiring a high grade pass as opposed to reasoning, understanding and acquisition of skills and knowledge.
#Uganda #SESEMAT #NewCurriculumUg #Olevel

@Educ_SportsUg @NCDCUg MIN OF #EDUCATION: Classroom teaching reduced to 5 hours a day. Lessons start 8:30am, end at 2:50pm - which allows learners to engage in research, clubs, games, sports and have time for revision for 1 hr & 40 mins. School day ends 4:30pm. #Olevel

@Educ_SportsUg @NCDCUg MIN OF EDUCATION: In the new curriculum, the teacher is the facilitator of learning meaning that learners are expected to contribute to their learning with guidance from the teachers.
