UNEB has said that the overall results of the 2024 Uganda Certificate of Education exams show that 350,146 (98.05%) of the candidates passed the exams.
According to UNEB, by passing, one has qualified for the UCE certificate.
“ This will be indicated on the transcript and certificate as Result 1, while the candidates who did not fulfil the conditions for the award of the UCE certificate will have Result 2 indicated on their transcripts. These are candidates who did not sit for some compulsory subjects, or did not sit for a minimum of eight subjects, or who have no Project Work scores,” UNEB Executive Director, Dan Odongo said on Tuesday.
He noted that Result 3 will be will be indicated on the transcript of a candidate who has not met the minimum level in all the subjects.
This, he said means the candidate will have only achievement level E in all subjects taken.
“Candidates with Result 2 and 3 respectively shown on their Transcripts do not qualify for a UCE certificate.”
The results released on Tuesday indicated that candidates displayed exceptional performance in Art and Design, History & Political Education, Agriculture and Mathematics while proportions of candidates achieving at the elementary level (below basic level) are most significant in Physics followed by Chemistry and then English Language.
“The reports from our examiners indicate that in the Science practical assessments, candidates were expected to use a given scenario and materials provided to develop aims and a hypothesis, plan and carry out investigations and draw conclusions,” Odongo said.
