The Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN) and the National Curriculum Development Centre (NCDC) are working towards developing a national curriculum for nursery schools in the country. Speaking at the National Advisory Committee meeting in Kampala last week, Mr Amin Mawji, the diplomatic representative of the AKDN, said that since 1905, the AKDN has been supporting the government of Uganda starting with education services at the Aga Khan School, health care, social work and in the 1960s they shifted focus to economic development tourism, aviation and financial services. “The partnership hasn’t only covered social development, but it has covered economic development. In some cases, we have also covered cultural development through building national theatres, museums, which is a partnership we value a lot because the government has been supportive,” he said.
