Uganda Senior Two (S2) Religious Education Curriculum

The Senior Two (S2) Religious Education curriculum in Uganda offers two subjects: Christian Religious Education (CRE) and Islamic Religious Education (IRE). Both subjects are part of the Lower Secondary School Curriculum.

Christian Religious Education (CRE)

The S2 CRE curriculum builds upon the primary school foundation and aims to equip learners with knowledge, skills, and values based on Christian teachings. The curriculum follows a competence-based approach, focusing on the application of knowledge and skills in real-life situations. Key resources for the S2 CRE curriculum include textbooks, learner's books, teacher's guides, and the official syllabus document.

Several publishers offer S2 CRE learning materials aligned with the revised curriculum, including Longhorn Publishers and Baroque Publishers. These resources cover various topics and themes within the syllabus. Additional resources, such as notes and study guides, are available online through platforms like Sharebility Uganda.
