The Ministry of Education and Sports has announced plans to refurbish 120 traditional Secondary schools.


Janet Kataha Museveni, the Minister of Education, announced this initiative today during the presentation of the Ministry's progress in implementing the NRM manifesto at an event held at state house Nakasero.

Janet Museveni said that the schools will be refurbished using a grant from the Global Partnership for Education (GPE) and with a concessionary credit facility from the World Bank.
The minister stated that this project is planned to span five years, with the possibility of increasing the number of schools as more funds become available.

She highlighted that they have already made a plan, and their intention is, to begin with the oldest schools that were established prior to independence, as well as those built shortly after the country gained independence. Some of the prominent schools that are currently in a poor state include Nabumali High School in Mbale, Busoga College Mwiri, St. Peter's College in Tororo and Nyapea College in Zombo among others.
