Academic Curriculum Framework

Lower Secondary
& Upper Secondary Curriculum

Uganda’s Lower Secondary Curriculum, introduced in 2020, is based on a competency-based approach that places the learner at the center of education. It focuses on developing practical skills, values, and the ability to apply knowledge in real-life situations rather than relying on memorization.

The Upper Secondary Curriculum (Senior 5–Senior 6) builds on the competencies acquired at O-Level and allows learners to specialize in subject combinations aligned with their academic strengths and career aspirations.
