Nkuutu Memorial Secondary School (NMSS) is a government-aided school in Bugweri, Uganda.[1][2] It is a church-founded school and was first established as Busesa girls working together with Busesa boys on the opposite side of the road (now Busesa Mixed Primary School). As the need for a secondary school arose it was expanded into a secondary school and was named in memory of Hon. Shaban Kirunda Nkuutu who was brutally killed during Idi Amin's regime.[3]

In 2007 the school was selected to be among the pioneer schools for the Universal Secondary education (USE).[4]

History

[edit]

Interior Minister John Mikloth Magoola Luwuliza-Kirunda helped to secure the funding to build the school in the early 1980s.[5]
