COVID 19 pandemic caused a disruption in our education system and made learners missed schooling for two years of 2020 to 2021 schooling period. This has created a need to rethink what and how learners will be taught when schools open. The Kolfram Educational Services Kampala has developed a series of teaching materials for pre-primary, primary and secondary schools in Uganda. These materials are prepared in accordance to the abridged curriculums right from primary two up to senior six. “Special thanks go to the board of directors, managers and staff of Kolfram Educational Services Kampala for the great work done.’’ Congratulations This material presents a selection of priority learning competences and concepts, along with psychological support, which should be focus of instruction in the 2022 school year in order to achieve learning recovery. This material is not a departure from the existing old curricula for this level but is a modification of the same with a purpose of recovering the lost learning time with maximum learning loss. They have been packed for all primary and secondary classes in Uganda including pre- primary, primary one, senior one and senior five that are still using the old standard curriculums. I therefore, recommend this material and ask all stake holders, educational fraternity to support its implementation as a strategic intervention towards the mitigation of the effects of COVID 19 pandemic on the education system. The effective implementation of this material by the implementers will be a great milestone towards the recovery of lost learning time and giving hope and confidence to learners and teachers.

The Standard Kolfram in Use; Abridged Curriculum, pupil’s book 6 Social Studies Workbook is purely based on the New revised Primary six Syllabus 2021. It is one of the 60 books set in the same series set to solve the challenges caused by Covid 19 pandemic in teaching and learning in primary and secondary schools. Other books in the series cover all the classes and other subjects which do exist in Ugandan schools.

This book covers basics of ICT like Windows and Accessories, Ms Word Processor, Ms Excel (Spread Sheets), Ms Power Point (Presentation), Ms Access(Data Bases), Ms Publisher and web Design moreover each of them having over 25 resourceful questions for reference and simplicity. In trying to write this book, I have made it so simple (Simple — Complex) bearing in mind that most learners/students have insufficient or no background knowledge about the use of computers. This book does not only predispose on the student‘s use in school but to anyone outside there that may be willing to learn how to launch and use IT basicprograms. It is however important to note that the author has carefully studied the habitual National Examination computer studies/Sub ICT syllabi and has carefully complied content and resourceful papers from resourceful heads, so interesting, and moreover comprehensible to cater for this field of teaching ICT at different levels. It is therefore important for the students and teachers to snatch themselves a copy so as to ease the teaching — learning process. This manuscript is also an inspiration from the 0‘ level and recently rationalized secondary schools A‘ level Curriculum for ICT and Sub math that affect tertiary and university entry prerequisite. It has also been an inspiration that has been as a result of constructive criticism from our fellows in the field and my own students that have driven me to come up with such organized manuscript as a need to strengthen computer skills in schools and at individual level. Compiled content herein is to guide the teacher and learner during practical based sessions and partly theory but majorly aims at equipping learners with computer skills. NB. To my fellow readers/users; I am aware of a number of ICT study pamphlets and text books and guides that have already been published and steadily supplied country wide. However, “Computer Studies/ICT Practical Guide” as a guide book has steadily and carefully been compiled and revised ‗by the teachers who have tested the hiccups in delivering of content in this noble field.
