Bugulumbya Secondary School is a secondary school in Busobya, Kamuli District, in the Eastern Region, Uganda. It became known nationally through the NEPAD e-Schools Initiative.
History
NEPAD e-Schools Initiative
In June 2005, a consortium led by Hewlett-Packard announced plans to launch Uganda’s first NEPAD “e-school” at Bugulumbya Secondary School, following a World Economic Forum Africa Summit announcement in Cape Town.
Infrastructure and ICT
Africa Renewal reported constraints typical of rural schools at the time, including limited grid electricity and reliance on a generator, as well as phased delivery of ICT equipment during the pilot period. The school has a roughly even split between girls and boys in S1 – S4, but males outnumber females by a ratio of approximately 4:1 in S5 and S6.
