Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>Kyambogo University has registered better performance of primary teachers who sat for the 2020 examinations from 60 teachers\u2019 colleges across the country.<\/p>\n

Releasing the results on Monday evening at the Office of the President, Kyambogo University Academic Registrar, Dr Annie Begumisa, said a total of 8,870 (4,880 females and 3,890 males) candidates were registered for the 2020 Grade lll teachers certificate in Primary Teacher Education examinations.<\/p>\n

Results show that a total of 7,498 (84.5 percent) candidates passed the examinations compared to the 7,391 (77.8 percent) in 2019.<\/p>\n

Another 922 candidates failed the examinations and will repeat while 450 candidates were ungraded.<\/p>\n

Bushenyi Primary Teachers\u2019 College topped performance across the country and Rukungiri Primary Teachers\u2019 College were second, followed by Kisoro Primary Teachers\u2019 College.<\/p>\n

Canon Lawrence Primary Teachers\u2019 College was fourth followed by St John Bosco Primary Teachers\u2019 College and Canon Apollo Primary Teachers\u2019 College. All these attained an overall pass of 90 percent.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Kyambogo University registered a decline in the number of candidates who sat for the 2020 examinations at 8,870 compared to 9,493 candidates who sat in 2019.<\/p>\n

The Kyambogo University Vice Chancellor, Prof Eli Katunguka, attributed the improved performance on the review of admission entry requirement to Grade Ill teachers, long period on the programme as a result of Covid-19 and recruitment of more college tutors for various subjects by the Ministry of Education.<\/p>\n

Prof Katunguka also revealed that the last cohort will end in 2024 after the Ministry of Education made it mandatory for all institutions training teachers to start admitting students on bachelor\u2019s level effective this year.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe last cohort of certificate teachers are starting next year in January and will study for two years. This means that effective next year, we shall admit students at bachelor\u2019s level only,\u201d Prof Katunguka said.<\/p>\n

The Ministry of Education in 2019 approved the Teacher\u2019s Policy which stopped intake for certificate and diploma courses in teacher education.<\/p>\n
