Education Ministry says schools offering both international and national curricula must meet both sets of standards

According to The Independent (URN), Frances Atima, the Ministry of Education and Sports' Chief Education Officer for standards and quality assurance, said schools running both a foreign and the Ugandan curriculum must hold separate registration and licensing and meet the requirements for each. She said the ministry plans a nationwide validation exercise before the end of the year to map international schools and act against those without licences or failing the standards, which were introduced in May 2026 (BRMS-IS).
