Over 1600 attend Grand National ICT Seminar at Hilton High School

Hilton High school in conjunction with the ICT teachers’ Association of Uganda organized a workshop for all the students that offer ICT and computer studies all over the country that was held on 26^th/06/2022. The seminar received schools from all the four regions of Uganda that is North, Eastern, Western region. This seminar aimed at improving the grades of over learners all over the country.

It attendance was thrilling and exciting because we realized over 1600 students all over the country constituting over 750 “O” level students and over 850 students. This was more than the attendance of 2020 seminar, in terms of delivery and service providing according to the feedback report it is very clear that there was a tremendous improvement where by  unlike before, among the facilitators we managed to have the examination chiefs for paper one for both levels and they really gave our students time among other senior facilitators such as Mr. Mukalele Rogers, Mr. Wejuli Moses, Mr. Maganda, Mr. Lukyamuzi and many more.

Background about Hilton seminars

The idea was started way back in 2017 by Mutyaba Daniel together with his then colleagues Mr. Maganda Moses currently at Seroma Christian High School and Mr. Sserwadda George currently at Uganda Matyrs Namugongo. We were greatly motivated and inspired by the desire to gather colleagues and we share experiences with the rest of the people country over.

It was a such a great milestone that we were supported by the ICT Association of Uganda(ITAU) by coming in conjunction with us in 2020 which has helped to improve on our publicity, resource base and so much more. And on this note great thanks goes to the executive committee of ITAU lead by Mr. Lukyamuzi Ronald for the wonderful support and great enthusiasm towards the whole arrangements and organisation of that remarkable event.
