The Minister of Education and Sports is in agreement with the recommendation from a section of educationalists that science can be taught in the local language at the primary level.

“Teaching science in the local language will make sense to us and we will become transformational when we really get involved in teaching science in mother tongue at primary level,” Janet said.

“When you bring it in mother tongue it becomes real and meaningful, and then perhaps we can have more scientists in our society,” she added.

These suggestions were made by an educationalist from Makerere University’s College of Education and External Studies.

The first lady also encouraged educationalists to undertake research around issues that affect education.

Henry Busuulwa, the principal investigator of the research findings on Inter-disciplinary Enhancement of Science Education in the Uganda Primary Thematic Curriculum, said more effort needs to be put in to promote STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) subjects “since our scientists are still few.”

Busuulwa also said the findings suggested that science should be taught from Primary One as a separate subject. He said the delay to start teaching science impacts the learner’s choice as they progress.
