History of Nkumba Primary School:
As far back as 1951, the idea of establishing Nkumba Primary School was conceived by the late Ssalongo Kintu.
This was upon realizing that most of the children in the area could not make it to school owing to the long distances they had to walk to the then ‘nearby’ schools, notably Kisubi and Namate in Entebbe.
To many parents, the only solution was to let their children sit at home to grow old enough to walk those long distances to school.
The late Kintu established contact with the prominent people around in a series of meetings which later brought the idea to fruition.
On 5th February 1952, he deployed the late Christopher Kisolo, who became the first Headmaster.
On the following day, 6th February 1952, Mr. Kisolo started implementing the long-awaited idea with 10 pupils, with teaching and learning taking place at the Kitawulu in the courtyard of the late Charles Ffulu, in present day Nkumba Bufulu.
This is where the school was until the late Nelson Nkalubo.
Ssebuggwawo donated land, leading to its relocation to its current home along Entebbe Road.
Nkumba Primary School has since produced a number of prominent women and men who joined renowned secondary schools, universities and tertiary institutions across the country and beyond.
The alumni are currently living and working in different countries across the globe.
