Teachers struggling to come up with the content to teach learners

Teachers in different schools are struggling to come up with the content to prepare for learners with just a few days to re-opening.

Teachers are expected to prepare schemes of work before every beginning of the term, detailing the content from the syllabus that will be taught. However, this year is special given the fact that learners have been automatically promoted before covering most of the content in their previous classes.

To enable teachers to prepare for teaching upon reopening, the Ministry of Education had promised an abridged curriculum to speed up the learning process but the abridged curriculum was never delivered.

Lawrence Kasibante Basajjasubi, a senior teacher and administrator at Nakasero Senior Secondary School says that they have resolved to teach two syllabi in the same class putting more emphasis on science subjects that have a lot of critical content that learners should not miss.
