ict clubs implemented by KAWA for UCC/UCUSAF

KAWA is working with UCC through UCUSAF to launch ICT clubs in all secondary schools in Uganda. The key objective of these clubs is to build the students' ICT skills more effectively and responsibly, drive creativity and innovation and develop the capacity of learners and their teachers in the care and maintenance of the Computer Laboratory. The ICT clubs will also be connected to nearby universities for further mentorship.

Expect more updates on this page and the individual school website about the progress made by KAWA towards the tooling and retooling of teachers from this school and the new plans for teacher professional development. Gaps to be addressed by KAWA Uganda Workshops include the Pedagogical skills gap, ICT skills gap, Formative assessment gap, Understanding and interpretation of the syllabus gap.

Other Modules are using ICT in assessment for Learning and Record keeping, Implementation of the New Competence-Based Curriculum and New teacher policy, Learner Centred Teaching and Learning, Integration of ICT for enhanced teaching and learning, Classroom management, and Project-Based Learning in this school.

ICT Computer Laboratories

UCC through UCUSAF has installed ICT computer labs in over 1,000 secondary schools, tertiary institutions, and universities. All these schools currently teach the ICT subject either at O-level or/and A-Level.

UCC/UCUSAF identifies the sustainability of ICT laboratories in Schools and Colleges as a major Challenge. A study done in 2018 found that 40% of the laboratories were in semi-operable condition (RCDF Report). The maintenance issues identified were of a kind that could easily be trouble-shot by a trained computer teacher.

Even Schools that have not yet received Computers from UCC are being supported through teachers’ capacity building.

Implementation Lower Secondary Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC)

Schools are implementing the Lower Secondary Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) with S.1 learners as they progress to the next class. With the support of NCDC and the Master Trainers, teachers are gaining a deeper understanding of the implementation of the curriculum.

Project-Based Learning (PBL) is a key focus with projects that students will undertake at every end of the topic. Teachers will then be required to note the student's progress before any new topic is introduced.

KAWA recommends the creation of Teacher mentors and a Professional Learning Community (PLC) in the school so that teachers who have not been oriented to the revised curriculum can get help from their colleagues at school to understand the expectations of the new curriculum.

In the new curriculum, there is a provision for the pre-Vocational component of education which is in the line with the World of Work requirements and in line with the Skilling Uganda strategy. This is aimed at preparing learners at an early age with the opportunity to understand and appreciate vocational work, recognize its importance and later join the world of work in this area.

Subjects that will benefit from this arrangement include performing arts, Agriculture, ICT, Nutrition and Food Technology, Art and Design, Technology and Design, Physical Education, and Entrepreneurship.

Learners studying these subjects will have the option of being assessed in the occupational competence equivalent to Level 1 at the Directorate of Industrial Training (DIT) at the end of senior three.

ict clubs implemented by KAWA for UCC/UCUSAF

KAWA is working with UCC through UCUSAF to launch ICT clubs in all secondary schools in Uganda. The key objective of these clubs is to build the students' ICT skills more effectively and responsibly, drive creativity and innovation and develop the capacity of learners and their teachers in the care and maintenance of the Computer Laboratory. The ICT clubs will also be connected to nearby universities for further mentorship.

Tooling and Retooling of teachers.

Expect more updates on this page and the individual school website about the progress made by KAWA towards the tooling and retooling of teachers from this school and the new plans for teacher professional development. Gaps to be addressed by KAWA Uganda Workshops include the Pedagogical skills gap, ICT skills gap, Formative assessment gap, Understanding and interpretation of the syllabus gap.

Other Modules are using ICT in assessment for Learning and Record keeping, Implementation of the New Competence-Based Curriculum and New teacher policy, Learner Centred Teaching and Learning, Integration of ICT for enhanced teaching and learning, Classroom management, and Project-Based Learning in this school.

ICT Computer Laboratories

UCC through UCUSAF has installed ICT computer labs in over 1,000 secondary schools, tertiary institutions, and universities. All these schools currently teach the ICT subject either at O-level or/and A-Level.

UCC/UCUSAF identifies the sustainability of ICT laboratories in Schools and Colleges as a major Challenge. A study done in 2018 found that 40% of the laboratories were in semi-operable condition (RCDF Report). The maintenance issues identified were of a kind that could easily be trouble-shot by a trained computer teacher.

Even Schools that have not yet received Computers from UCC are being supported through teachers’ capacity building.

Implementation Lower Secondary Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC)

Schools are implementing the Lower Secondary Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) with S.1 learners as they progress to the next class. With the support of NCDC and the Master Trainers, teachers are gaining a deeper understanding of the implementation of the curriculum.

Project-Based Learning (PBL) is a key focus with projects that students will undertake at every end of the topic. Teachers will then be required to note the student's progress before any new topic is introduced.

KAWA recommends the creation of Teacher mentors and a Professional Learning Community (PLC) in the school so that teachers who have not been oriented to the revised curriculum can get help from their colleagues at school to understand the expectations of the new curriculum.

In the new curriculum, there is a provision for the pre-Vocational component of education which is in the line with the World of Work requirements and in line with the Skilling Uganda strategy. This is aimed at preparing learners at an early age with the opportunity to understand and appreciate vocational work, recognize its importance and later join the world of work in this area.

Subjects that will benefit from this arrangement include performing arts, Agriculture, ICT, Nutrition and Food Technology, Art and Design, Technology and Design, Physical Education, and Entrepreneurship.
