Cambridge Curriculum is great

I was previously in a good UNEB school studying physics, economics, mathematics and entrepreneurship but I was introduced to the idea of the Cambridge curriculum by a family friend who is in the education sector.

I loved it as it was likely to offer me a chance to cover A’ Level faster and also offered information communication technology (ICT) and business studies. These subjects fitted in well with both my career choices. I always aspired to be either a software engineer or aeronautical engineer since computing and developing software as well as mechanical engines fascinated me.

Currently, I have shifted to accounting. I convinced my parents and I joined Kabojja International School.

I just got the idea of ACCA when I joined this school. I studied the labour market and found out that ACCA was and is the most marketable course. I am now pursuing ACCA at the Multi Accountancy Training and Management before enrolling for an MBA at Heriot University in Dubai.

The A’ level GCE, when completed successfully, is equivalent to a diploma and many universities worldwide recognise and value it. It gives one an advantage, especially when one has an opportunity to study and probably work outside Uganda.

I encourage others to join ACCA if they can because there is a great possibility of someone starting their own accounting firm after some years of practice. My advice to those still in high school is; if you are not very good in academics, anchor on God’s word and try to develop your talents instead.
