NCDC New Curriculum Books in Uganda

The National Curriculum Development Centre (NCDC) is responsible for producing and approving textbooks for the new curriculum in Uganda. These books are designed to support the shift from content-based to competency-based learning, enabling students to develop problem-solving, analytical, and communication skills.

Structure of the New Books

Each subject now has learner’s books and teacher’s guides that emphasize real-life examples, scenarios, and projects. For instance, Science books contain experiment-based tasks, while English books encourage students to write, discuss, and present ideas.

Competency Focus

The books promote active learning. Instead of memorization, students engage with activities that build creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking. NCDC ensures every book aligns with these competencies.

Availability and Distribution

The Ministry of Education distributes these books to schools across Uganda. However, due to supply delays, some institutions struggle to get enough copies. Shuleni bridges this gap by allowing teachers to upload and access digital versions of learning materials within the system.

Why Schools Need to Use the Right Editions

Using outdated books confuses learners and teachers. NCDC frequently updates the content to match revised syllabi and competency targets. Schools should always verify book editions before purchasing or distributing them.

Conclusion

The NCDC new curriculum books mark a positive shift toward modern learning. When combined with digital systems like Shuleni Report Card Management System, teachers can plan lessons, record progress, and generate meaningful reports that reflect true learning outcomes.
