St.Mugagga Nkozi Primary School was started in 1934 by the Missionaries of Africa commonly known as the White Fathers. The school is run by the Brothers of St.Charles Lwanga who are commonly known as the Bannakaroli Brothers, the first African indigenous religious congregation of men South of the Sahara.
It is a day and boarding school and enrolls pupils mostly from within Nkozi area and from the Northern part of Uganda. Most of the pupils at St. Mugagga School don’t pay tuition; many are orphans due to civil wars and the AIDS epidemic, and most live in extreme poverty and lack of nutrition.
Academics
The school is government aided under the program of Universal Primary Education. Funds from this program are allocated for the payment of teachers’ salaries and the purchase of scholastic materials. The program does not, however, fund the refurbishment of infrastructure in schools.
Academics
School academic performance is very good, however, it has been adversely affected by poor infrastructure. Renovation of school structures continues to be a primary need for the school.
Facilities
St. Mugagga School is situated in a rural setting– most families grow crops for self sustenance (subsistence farming), and have little disposable income to contribute toward school renovation projects. The students’ families, however, have continued to provide whatever is in their means towards the implementation of renovation projects, including the donation of labor and materials.
