KAMPALA – National Curriculum Development Center (NCDC) will on Monday, January 13 start training selected teachers on how to deliver the new O level curriculum.

According to the Ministry of Education and Sports, the new Curriculum will be rolled out when this year’s school calendar begins on February 3.
