Revival Secondary

There is very little secondary education available in Uganda and where it is available it is provided at private schools with high fees. The students who attend Revival secondary school know they are a privileged few who must make the most of the opportunity.

The secondary school is developed in the lower part of the Revival Centre and has it's own entrance. The government have recently required that each institution at the Revival Centre be separated having it's own site, toilets and entrances. A range of buildings have been constructed to provide classrooms for the the main subjects to be taught but technical facilities such as laboratories are still lacking.

The secondary school received a huge boost with the arrival of the 40' container in late February 2009. It provided the secondary school with 220 chairs, 51 tables, 76 folding exam tables, some filing cabinets, 3000 text books, 12 four-seater dining tables, 4 large hexagonal tables, some laboratory equipment and computers. In April 2009 the secondary computer room was set up and the books added to the now well stocked secondary library. This support is a huge encouragement to the teachers and motivates the students to work hard knowing that their school is becoming a good one.

poor situation in Uganda the syllabus and examinations in science subjects require practical work and experiments to be undertaken.

O-level exams are taken in S4 and A-level exams in S6 but the school has to pay expensive exam registration fees for students to sit exams at recognised exam centres. It is vital that we raise money each April to enable these hard working students to sit exams at the end of their S4 and S6 studies each November. Given the development of a laboratory and improved toilets Revival secondary school can apply to become a registered exam centre, this would save much of the exam fees money each year and generate revenue from other schools paying to have their students sit exams at Revival.
