The approach according to DIT director, Patrick Byakatonda, is in response to the demands of the world of work for marketable skills whereby schools are required to produce learners who are competitive and are able to demonstrate required competencies by the world of work.

After the rollout of the curriculum, it will be compulsory for all schools to implement.
