The Ministry of Education and Sports has donated science teaching kits to 20 government-aided primary schools in Kamuli Municipality to strengthen practical science education and improve learners’ understanding of science subjects.
The kits, including models of the human heart, skeleton, digestive system and ear, were handed over at Kamuli Girls Boarding Primary School during a ceremony officiated by Assistant Resident District Commissioner Michael Museebe. He urged schools to safeguard the equipment and use it to enhance practical learning.
Headteachers welcomed the support, saying the materials will improve science instruction by replacing theory-based teaching with hands-on demonstrations. Kamuli Municipal Education Officer Ivan Wakabi also called on schools to preserve the government-owned equipment and encouraged parents to keep children engaged in learning during the holidays.
The initiative is part of the Ministry’s nationwide STEM and competency-based curriculum reforms aimed at improving science performance and promoting practical learning in schools.
