Kiira College Butiki

Kiira College Butiki (KCB), commonly referred to as Butiki, is an all-boys boarding public secondary school (high school) located in Jinja district, in the Eastern region of Uganda. The school is located on Butiki hill, in Namulesa trading center, along the Jinja-Kamuli Highway. It is approximately 14 kilometers (approx. 8.7 miles) from Jinja town.

The school was named after River Nile (known as Kiira among the local Basoga people). The Nile derives its source from Lake Victoria in Jinja.

The school motto is "Discipline & Hard Work".

The school was founded in 1959 as a public secondary school. Unlike in developed countries like the US, the funds used to run public schools are from both the government (through the Ministry of Education) and from private tuition agreed upon by school PTA committees of the respective school; a public-private interaction funding. Teacher salaries are mainly paid by the Ugandan government. However, teachers also receive allowances from the tuition paid by the students.

Note that unlike in countries like the United Kingdom or the US, boarding schools in Uganda do not identify students as being from a high social class. Boarding schools are a convenient way to ensure that students, mainly those from rural places (60% of attendees), attend school without transportation inconveniences.
