Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) has pledged to enhance educational infrastructure in Kampala during the 2024/2025 financial year, with plans to construct over 20 new classrooms as part of the Smart City agenda.
In a recent press conference at City Hall, Executive Director Dorothy Kisaka highlighted KCCA’s dedication to improving the education sector, focusing on three key pillars: technological development, infrastructural development, and citizens’ well-being.
Kampala hosts 79 KCCA government-aided primary schools and 22 government-aided secondary schools, all providing free education in line with government policy. In the previous financial year, KCCA made significant strides in upgrading educational facilities, benefiting over 30 schools with renovations and new constructions.
KCCA has also acquired 1.685 acres of land for Kasubi Family Primary School, showcasing its commitment to expanding educational infrastructure. “Our goal is to create a better city through strategic investments in education, technology, and infrastructure,” Kisaka stated.
To improve the learning environment, KCCA has supplied 150 desks to 10 schools and completed asbestos removal, remodeling, and expansion of classroom and laboratory blocks at Kololo Secondary School.
For the 2024/2025 financial year, Kisaka announced plans for several new classroom blocks: Nakivubo Primary School will receive a nine-classroom block, Mpererwe Primary School a six-classroom block, and Kasubi Family Primary School both a nine-classroom block and fencing for security.
Additionally, KCCA plans to construct a seed secondary school in the Kawempe division and renovate Kyambogo College School, including the removal of asbestos iron sheets for safer learning conditions.
The Smart City Agenda aims to modernize Kampala and enhance the quality of life for its residents through comprehensive planning and investment.
