The National Curriculum Development Centre (NCDC) is Uganda’s principal institution responsible for developing, reviewing, and harmonizing curricula, educational materials, and assessment guidelines to ensure quality and relevance in the country’s education system. Established by an Act of Parliament in 1973, NCDC has evolved into a nationally respected authority recognized for shaping learner-centered, competence-based curricula that prepare students for lifelong learning, employment, and civic engagement. The Centre fosters a professional, inclusive, and knowledge-driven work culture, offering opportunities for education experts, researchers, and innovators to contribute to transformative learning across pre-primary, primary, secondary, and non-formal education sectors.

Its business model emphasizes stakeholder engagement, policy alignment, and continuous research to drive innovation in curriculum design, digital content development, and teacher support. With a nationwide reach and strong collaboration with the Ministry of Education and Sports, NCDC influences millions of learners and educators, contributing to Uganda’s socio-economic development. The organization upholds values of integrity, excellence, inclusivity, innovation, and patriotism, and integrates corporate social responsibility through community literacy programs, special needs education initiatives, and the promotion of national heritage through education. As a thought leader in educational transformation, NCDC continues to adapt to emerging global and local challenges to ensure Uganda’s curriculum remains responsive, inclusive, and empowering.
