Information Communication Technology and mathematics subjects are compulsory in Uganda schools, the minister for Education and Sports Jessica Alupo told the media in Kampala on Wednesday.
Alupo says that unlike in the previous years, Mathematics and Information Communication Technology subjects will be compulsory for all Senior Five (S.5) and Senior 6 students across the country. The academic year for Senior 5 and Senior 6 begins on Monday next week.
According to the new education arrangement announced by Alupo, all student in S.5 must choose either mathematics or information communication technology subjects on top of their three-subject combination.
