Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>A slightly higher number of 2022 Uganda Advanced Certificate of Education (UACE) candidates have qualified to join university as compared to the previous year.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the minimum two principal level required for university admission, 67,815 (70.3%) qualify compared to 69.8% in 2020,\u201d the Uganda National Examinations Board (Uneb) executive director Daniel Odongo said on Friday.<\/p>\n

However, Uneb clarified that \u201cin terms of numbers, this is slightly less than that of 2020, which was 68,013 candidates (69.8%).\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is consistent with the fact that there was a slight drop in entries for the examination in 2022,\u201d Mr Odongo explained.<\/p>\n

According to Uneb, 97,890 candidates sat the 2022 UACE examination from 1,969 centres across the country as compared to 98,392 candidates from 1,952 centres in 2020.<\/p>\n

Additionally, results released at the Office of the Prime Minister (OPM) indicate that \u201cthe overall candidates\u2019 performance in the 2022 UACE examinations registered a very high percentage of candidates (99.2%) who qualified for the award of the UACE-just as was in 2020.\u201d<\/p>\n

“In cases where one principal and two subsidiary pass levels are considered for admission to other tertiary institutions, 89.3% of the candidates will qualify,” Mr Odongo noted.<\/p>\n
