Education is one of the challenges faced in Sserinya community. We are a community primary school that serves over 280 pupils. The school holds classes from as low as nursery (approximately 4 to 6 years), lower primary from P1 to P4, and then upper primary from P5 to P7.
The primary school was set up in 2009, with a primary goal of improving the education levels in the community. By then a few classes were conducted under the first block, whereas other learners studied under tree shades. This challenge is gradually solved, though not yet 100%. But with the support of friends from all over the world, ‘Mpola Mpola,’ we are moving forward to educate the community.
Teaching at Sserinya Primary School follows the Ugandan primary schools curriculum as designed by the National Curriculum Development Centre.
The school has a dedicated team of qualified teachers who work together to form a self-reliant citizen. This is done through the many school and extracurricular activities that are carried out at school.
The school is in the heart of the community, and acts as a haven for many.
The income levels in our community are generally low, and this is a great factor that keeps many things in the community low! The Sserinya Community Organization (SCOU), being the backbone of the primary school, has worked hand in hand with many friends of Sserinya from the local community and leaders to international friends and donors to realize what is on the ground.
