Five years after the rollout of the competence-based lower secondary curriculum, the National Curriculum Development Centre (NCDC) is set to review and streamline the curriculum with a focus on reducing content load in several subjects.

According to George Wilson Ssabavuma, a curriculum specialist at NCDC, the review process is being informed by feedback collected from a wide range of stakeholders, including teachers, students, and education experts.

Ssabavuma indicated that while some teachers initially resisted the new curriculum, many have come to appreciate its benefits after implementation.

He emphasized that working with streamlined yet comprehensive content has helped teachers recognize its effectiveness in enhancing both teaching and learning.

The upcoming review aims to make the curriculum more manageable for both learners and teachers without compromising the core competencies and skills the education system is designed to deliver.
