Teachers have been advised to consider giving continuous assessments to learners for marks to be used as part of the promotional process.
In the effort to cover the lost academic time during COVID-19 lockdown, Ministry of Education and Sports introduced an abridged curriculum focusing on critical concepts and competencies to ensure learners progressions.
Ketty Lamaro, the Permanent Secretary Ministry of Education and Sports, while addressing the media at the Uganda Media Center in Kampala this Tuesday on the progress of Abridged curriculum said that teachers had started giving students tests which she says consumes a lot of time yet the ministry introduced a repackaged form of curriculum to save time any kind of tests given is a wastage of time at the moment.
Lamaro adds that the ministry has already finalized the training of the trainees who are going to train teachers, head teacher among others for them to give learners the best within the shortest time possible and they are finalizing the procurement of hand books for the abridged curriculum.
The short curriculum is for only continuing classes namely P.2,P.3, P.4 and P.6 then Senior 2, S.3 and S.5 and it is going to work for 1-3years when the situation normalizes then schools will go back to normal curriculum.
