Planning and Assessment Under the New Curriculum

Uganda’s new lower secondary curriculum is competence-based, and school-based assessment counts for 20% of a learner’s final UCE result. These practices help teachers plan and assess well:

  1. Plan from learning outcomes. Break each topic in the syllabus into learning outcomes and plan activities that let learners show each one.
  2. Use learner-centred activities. Group work, projects, experiments and presentations build the competences the curriculum targets.
  3. Assess continuously. Record evidence from classwork, projects and activities of integration throughout the term, not only from end of term exams.
  4. Write scenario-based items. Base questions on real situations learners recognise, like those in UNEB sample papers.
  5. Prepare scoring guides. Describe what evidence earns each score so marking is fair and consistent across teachers.
  6. Moderate with colleagues. Review each other’s items and marking within your department.
