Summary
The National Curriculum Development Centre (NCDC) has launched a gamification handbook to support pre-primary and lower primary teachers in implementing Uganda’s Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC). The guide provides practical strategies for integrating game-based learning into classrooms, emphasizing learner-centered education and active participation. It addresses both technology-enabled and low-resource settings, offering inclusive tools such as digital progress tracking, charts, and visual markers. NCDC highlights the evolving role of teachers as facilitators who monitor individual learner progress and mastery. By incorporating rewards and flexible progression, the handbook aims to strengthen skills acquisition and foster lifelong competencies beyond the classroom.
