SECTION A
Item 1
One parent of a S.1 learner complained before the headteacher that although the government through National
Curriculum Development Center (NCDC) reduced subjects done at O level, the subjects are still many on his
small boy. The headteacher told him all the remaining subjects were left for a reason and that his boy was to
benefit a lot. The parent rejected the head teacher’s argument and wondered how history and political education
will benefit his boy. The headteacher called you as one of the S.1 learners to help the parent understand why
history and political education was left on the O level subject menu.
Task
Write an essay of what you are going to tell the parent
Item 2
The Royal tombs of Buganda at Kasubi were set on fire by unknown strangers and very many items were
completely destroyed. The police and other security agencies made efforts to find out the actual cause of this
fire but their efforts remained futile. Many Ugandans came up with arguments over this event that the tombs
should be removed so that an industry is put up to provide employment to the people. However, UNESCO has
insisted that the tombs should be renovated and maintained.
Support material: Front view of the Kasubi Royal tombs in Buganda as of 2012.
Task
Support UNESCO’s idea.
