Karongo Primary School opened in 1960’s with sole purpose of helping children of Kakira Sugar Works’ employees to attend school. It acquired its name from the location where it was opened i.e. “Karongo Quarters”. It started with few classes but after some years it developed into a complete primary school with a kindergarten attached. It is a day school with a population of 320 pupils, primary and kindergarten combined.
