The study involved 108 respondents namely 9 Directors, 9 head teachers, and 90 teachers randomly selected from 9 Schools. Data was collected using a self-administered questionnaire, interview guide, and documentary analysis. Data collected was compiled, sorted, and organized in frequencies and percentages. \u0000Results\u0000The results were subjected to an x2 test at a 0.05% confidence interval and 6 degrees of freedom with a critical x² value at 12.59. The chi-square values obtained from the head teachers, teachers, and directors were 18.15, 14.94, and 37.51 respectively. The null hypothesis was rejected because the observed x2 values obtained were above the critical x² value at 12.59.    Therefore the study findings indicated that the reward system affects teachers’ motivation. \u0000Conclusion\u0000It was then concluded that teachers’ motivation was subject to the existing reward system. Teacher’s remuneration is majorly determined by the interests of proprietors than based on the teachers’ ability, experience, and performance. This explains why teachers in private schools do not receive the same payments. Some private schools have better pay for their teachers and as such stand to maintain their teachers longer. Some teachers are better remunerated than others. Those who are favored have a higher motivation than those who are not.\u0000Recommendation\u0000Private secondary schools should improve their reward systems and the Ministry of Education should intervene to determine the minimum monthly pay to teachers so that teachers are properly rewarded on the existing cost of living, work performance, experience, and education levels. ","PeriodicalId":516957,"journal":{"name":"SJ Education Research Africa","volume":"45 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140662774","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Through a competency-based curriculum, students became more innovative and creative. When students were instructed on competency, they were more likely to develop new problem-solving abilities, understand challenges that are prominent in the real world, become more competent in the use of technological gadgets like computers, and develop the ability to come up with alternative ways of addressing their problems. Therefore, a competency-based curriculum highly promoted students’ innovativeness in selected government-aided secondary schools of Wakiso District, Uganda. Thus a lot of support should be given to such schools to have competent students who will help in the development of the country. There was a high positive linear relationship between competency-based curriculum and students’ innovativeness.\u0000Conclusion\u0000Similarly, it was confirmed that a competency-based curriculum highly promotes students’ innovativeness in selected government-aided secondary schools of Wakiso District, Uganda.\u0000Recommendation\u0000The school administration should work hard towards ensuring that they offer necessary support to teachers, not only that but the teachers should be involved so much in the innovativeness of the students to give them an upper hand in whichever invention they may have come up with in the CBC. In addition, there should be rewards for best-performing teachers and students as a form of motivation to enhance the CBC in secondary schools.","PeriodicalId":516957,"journal":{"name":"SJ Education Research Africa","volume":"4 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140663779","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
