Uganda Senior Six (S6) Performing Arts

Performing Arts is offered as a subject in Ugandan secondary schools, including the Senior Six (S6) level, which is equivalent to the Advanced Level of education. While a dedicated syllabus specifically for S6 Performing Arts has not been located, the subject likely builds upon the lower secondary curriculum framework. Performing Arts at the lower secondary level encompasses music, dance, and drama, focusing on Ugandan traditional styles and incorporating vocal characteristics, accompaniment, costume, and props. Students are expected to create and perform their own artistic works, drawing inspiration from diverse cultural expressions.

At the S6 level, Performing Arts may be offered as an elective subject. Students explore, analyze, critique, and appreciate various art forms representing diverse cultures. The curriculum aims to develop high-level professional performance skills, supported by relevant theory and business skills. Sample papers and scoring guides for Performing Arts exams are available, suggesting a structured assessment process at the S6 level.
