Curriculum
Namugongo Secondary and Vocational School boosts of a unique curriculum which puts the school above the rest. Considering the challenges of employment in Uganda today, the school decided to run two programmes co- currently. The school runs the academic programme (UNEB curriculum) and the vocational curriculum. Every a student who is admitted in S1 is supposed to offer the usual UNEB curriculum along side One vocational subject and computer which is compulsory.
The student is taught the two programmes up to senior three where he or she sits for national examinations set by the Directorate of Industrial training (DIT). From such examinations, the student obtains a certificate and can decide to use that certificate to progress to another level in the line vocational skills. After the DIT examinations, the student continues to Senior Four and sits the UNEB examinations where he or she obtains a certificate.
Therefore what makes NSVS unique is that our students will be able to obtain two certificates at the end of the four year course.
This has been so helpful to our students because they are able to stand on their own after senior four.
The School curriculum is recognized by the Ministry of Education and Sports. This has enabled the school to get affiliated to the external certification bodies that offer students with authentic documents after completing their studies.
