The session focused on preparing for end-of-cycle assessments, particularly for the new A-level ICT curriculum. Mr. Kakuru Benard, an ICT Master Trainer, presented insights into the structure and format of the ICT examination papers, referencing the syllabus books and assessment guidelines available on the NCDC website. He explained the four assessment objectives for ICT and how they are linked to constructs and topics in the syllabus. The session detailed the format of both the theory and practical papers, providing examples of scenario-based items and the competencies they assess. Participants asked questions about scoring, the use of digital tools like Zoom and Google Meet, and accessing sample papers. Mr. Kakuru clarified that scores do not vary based on the number of applications used if all areas of focus are addressed. The session concluded with an invitation for further questions and a note on the availability of the presentation recording on the UPSTU website.
