Seven Ugandan secondary schools were recognised for the quality of their French teaching after a two-year national programme. Funded with more than 288,450 euros by the French Embassy, the project was led by the Alliance Française of Kampala and APFO, reports the Daily Monitor.
Seven Ugandan secondary schools received certification recognising their results in teaching French at the closing ceremony of a two-year national programme held on Saturday 24 October at Kitante Hill School, according to the Daily Monitor. The schools recognised are Kitante Hill School, St. Joseph’s Secondary School Naggalama, St. Theresa SS Bwanda, St. Henry’s College Kitovu, Ndejje Secondary School, Seeta High School Green Campus and Kiira College Butiki.
The initiative was funded to the tune of more than 288,450 euros by the French Embassy in Uganda and implemented by the Alliance Française of Kampala and the Association of French Teachers in Uganda (APFO). A national assessment covering at least 25 participating schools measured teaching progress, teaching methods and pupil results, according to the Daily Monitor.
The Solidarity Fund for Innovative Projects (FEF) project aimed to modernise lessons and harmonise methods for learning French in secondary schools. The ceremony was attended notably by the French ambassador to Uganda, Virginie Leroy, and Karim Cwinya’ay, the project manager and director of courses at the Alliance Française of Kampala, according to the Daily Monitor.
