ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
The National Curriculum Development Centre (NCDC) would like to thank
everyone who worked tirelessly towards the production of the Advance
Level (UACE) Curriculum Teaching Syllabi.
Special thanks go to the Ministry of Education and Sports for supporting
the work. NCDC would also like to thank the following for their professional
input: Secondary Schools, Universities, National Teachers Colleges, Uganda
National Examinations Board (UNEB), Directorate of Educational Standards
(DES), Secondary Science and Mathematics Teachers Programme
(SESEMAT), Technical and Business Institutions, Religious Organisations,
Professional Organisations, retired and practising Teachers.
Last but not least, NCDC would like to thank all those who worked behind

NCDC takes full responsibility for any errors and omissions in the documents
and welcomes suggestions to address them.

FOREWORD
For a long time teachers have been using Uganda National Examinations
Board (UNEB) syllabi to plan their teaching schemes. This approach has
rendered the curriculum to be largely driven by examination.
Working with relevant subject panels, NCDC has produced the Teaching
Syllabi for all the Advanced Level subjects. The subject content in the

noted that the content in the syllabi has remained largely the same except
in a few subjects where it has been updated by removing obsolete and/
or irrelevant material. Suitable teaching / learning strategies have been
suggested to the teacher and other users.

processes. The content therein will go a long way in enhancing the learners
educational experiences and guide the teachers towards successful delivery
of meaningful learning experiences.
The teaching / learning strategies suggested in the Syllabi are just a
guide to the teacher but are not meant to substitute the rich professional
approaches that the teacher may opt to use to deliver knowledge, and to
develop understandings, skills, values and attitudes.

TEACHING SYLLABUS
GENERAL INTRODUCTION
This volume of the Advanced Level syllabi contains three subjects: Agriculture,
Biology and Chemistry. There are other volumes containing other Advanced
Level subjects. The purpose of this merger is twofold. First, NCDC considered
the content relatedness of the subjects and second, the need to avoid extremely
voluminous books.
These syllabi have been written in accordance with the National Objectives on
Secondary Education. The syllabi content continues from that of the Ordinary
Level curriculum. The syllabi have suggested a teaching order, teaching and
learning strategies, and assessment strategies. In all cases the syllabi have tried
as much as possible to integrate the theory and practicals. This means that
the teaching and learning should be done through practical work as much as

skills.
The use of models or ICT opportunities should be exploited to help the learner

are encouraged to help the learners acquire relevant mathematical skills so as
to solve quantitative aspects of the subjects, including graphical methods and
the use of logarithms.
The Agriculture
Production, Agricultural Engineering and Farm Mechanisation and Economics.
The topics have been coded I or II, etc in order to differentiate them from
the O level syllabus content. These topics are meant to address crucial issues,
such as improved agriculture practices, new and appropriate crop and livestock
technologies, high value crops, and practical skills.
The Biology syllabus comprises 14 topics: Cell Biology; Chemicals of Life; Cell
Physiology; Levels of Organisation and Diversity of Life; Ecology; Inheritance
and Evolution; Transport; Nutrition; Gaseous Exchange; Respiration;
Homeostasis; Coordination; Support and Movement; and Reproduction,
Growth and Development. The syllabus places emphasis on understanding,
application, analysis and evaluation of Biology concepts relating them to
everyday experiences.

SCIENCE SUBJECTS

TEACHING SYLLABUS
The Chemistry syllabus has three main sections: Physical Chemistry,

Inorganic Chemistry and Organic Chemistry. It is hoped that when teaching
topics in the various sections, emphasis will be placed on the application
of chemistry in East Africa, particularly in the industries and communities.
The suggested teaching and learning strategies are meant to encourage
understanding of the basics of chemical behaviour.
