“Many primary schools today lack labs and necessary equipment needed for practical learning and appreciation of science. As such, many teachers teach science theoretically which makes learners resort to cramming.
“So, the ministry had to find a solution to this which led to introduction of the mini laboratory,” she said.
Mrs Museveni said the labs will “provide a firm foundation for transition of learners from primary to secondary.”
The labs, she added, will be procured in a phased manner depending on availability of resources.
Meanwhile, the minister also received textbooks worth 800 million shillings donated by Uganda Publishers Association for distribution to schools.
