Uganda is set to implement a new competency-based curriculum (CBC) in 2028, potentially limiting structured learning time for lower primary pupils to a maximum of three hours daily. This change, proposed by the National Curriculum Development Centre (NCDC), aims to restructure the learning approach for young students. Dr. Patrice Ssembirige, acting director of NCDC, indicated the reduced structured time will be beneficial. The initiative seeks to prioritize quality over quantity in education, focusing on demonstrable skills. Further details regarding the curriculum’s specifics are expected as the implementation date nears. This move signals a significant shift in Uganda’s primary education system.
