The Stanbic National Schools Championship (NSC) has reached a crucial stage as appraisal visits get underway involving the 12 regional finalist schools which emerged from the highly competitive one-week bootcamp hosted by Uganda’s Gayaza High School during May. More detailed assessments are being carried out on the relevant school projects to determine which qualify for the grand finale in August. Held annually since 2016, the Championship organised by Stanbic Bank, helps identify Uganda’s most promising young entrepreneurs and innovators with the underlying goal of nurturing problem-solvers. The schools include Aga Khan High School, which developed a circular economy innovation that transforms plastic waste mixed with sand into durable, eco-friendly bricks and pavers.
