Namugongo Secondary and Vocational School Academics

NSVS offers a unique dual curriculum that sets it apart from other institutions in Uganda, addressing the challenges of employment by combining academic and vocational training. Every student admitted in Senior 1 follows the Uganda National Examinations Board (UNEB) curriculum alongside a compulsory vocational subject and computer studies. This dual approach continues until Senior 3, when students sit for national examinations set by the Directorate of Industrial Training (DIT), earning a certificate that allows them to pursue further vocational training if desired. Students then progress to Senior 4, where they sit for UNEB examinations to obtain an additional certificate.

This distinctive structure ensures that NSVS graduates leave with two certificates after four years, equipping them with both academic knowledge and practical skills to stand on their own. The academic programs are complemented by a team of qualified teachers and vocational instructors who teach subjects such as Building and Construction, Carpentry, Tailoring, Electrical Installation, and Catering, all recognized by the Ministry of Education and Sports and affiliated with external certification bodies.

Additionally, NSVS fosters creativity through Music, Dance, and Drama (MDD) “Battles,” where students showcase talents in original music compositions, dance, drama, videography, and art.
