Despite COVID-19 positivity rate in Uganda dropping to 1 per cent, the government says visitation days for schools are still on hold until further notice in a bid to prevent the spread of coronavirus in learning institutions.

Education and Sports Ministry spokesperson Dr Denis Mugimba said that boarding schools are a safe environment for the leaners and parents should not put them at risk for the sake of visitation.

Mugimba however said that schools have been permitted to resume sporting activities with strict observance to protection measures.

On the new curriculum, Mugimba said that they are not switching completely from the old curriculum, the Abridged curriculum is focusing on the vital learning points for the continuing learners.

“The Abridged curriculum is of very high quality. The way learners are being assessed or graded is not changing. They will still be as good as the learners using the old curriculum.

We have removed what we think is not the ‘must know’ from the old curriculum and only left what the learners need to proceed to the next class,” said Mugimba.

He added, “We shall have the Abridged curriculum for 3 years. The curriculum will not be trashed there after; it will remain a resource for the country to use in cases of emergency when the education system gets disrupted.”
