Busesa High School

Welcome to Busesa High School E-blog


Busesa High School is located in a small village called Busesa in the district of Iganga in the middle east of Uganda (East Africa).

The main aim of this new school is to relieve the only other secondary school in Busesa which is currently overloaded with not enough facilities.

At the moment, the school runs from senior one to senior four. The school has over two hundred students registered at the moment for the beginning of next academic year in February.

The school is aiming to teach the whole curriculum of education as recommended by the Ugandan ministry of education. The directors of the school also recognise the need of children learning new technologies, hence the need for computers.

Busesa High school is now linked to a secondary school in United Kingdom, in the south west of England, known as St Luke's Science and Sports College (http://www.st-lukes.devon.sch.uk/) I work in this school myself and after negociating with the ICT department, our school has kindly decided to offer them 15 computers to the Ugandan school as we are in the process of updating ours.

The computers are awaiting to be transported to Uganda. I am working together with one of the directors to continue finding ways to help. I will also be going to Uganda to visit the school and see for myself how the school is doing . That will not only give me a chance to compare the Ugandan educational system to the English one but will also help me identify where they need to improve, and will be able to give them ideas.

The school is still looking for other partner schools, people and businesses who can help in anyway they can. A church in Milton Keynes is in talks to donate five sewing machines to the school. This would be of great help as well.
