CBC School Management System in Uganda
How the Competency-Based Curriculum works in Uganda, and how school software supports it.
In short: Uganda’s Competency-Based Curriculum assesses learners against competency levels (A–E: Exceptional, Outstanding, Satisfactory, Basic and Elementary) using formative and summative assessment, Activities of Integration, projects and generic skills. A CBC school management system automates this: teachers enter scores, the system computes competency levels and generates NCDC-aligned report cards.

What to look for
Real CBC grading
The system should understand competency levels - not force CBC into a marks-only structure.
AOI support
Activities of Integration need multi-teacher, cross-subject workflows.
NCDC-aligned report cards
Report cards should follow the national template, including generic skills.
Teacher workload
CBC assessment is heavy - the system should reduce manual consolidation.
