Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>At least 73 percent students who sat their Uganda Advanced Certificate of Education (UACE) examinations qualify for university, reflecting a steady performance improvement as compared to 2022 and 2021, the Uganda National Examinations Board (Uneb) has said.<\/b><\/p>\n

On Thursday, Uneb released results of 110,553 learners who registered for the November 13-December 1, 2023 UACE examinations across 2,102 centres in the country, posting an increase of 12,663 candidates in the previous year.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnalysis of the overall candidates\u2019 performance in the examination shows that a very high percentage of candidates (99.1%) qualified for the award of the UACE, just as was in 2022,\u201d Uneb executive secretary Dan Odongo said.<\/p>\n

Uneb reports that \u201c80, 643 of the 2023 candidates meet the minimum requirement of 2 principal level passes for admission to university, up from a figure of 67, 815 in 2022 examinations.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIn cases where one principal and two subsidiary pass levels are considered for admission to other tertiary institutions, 90.7 per cent of the candidates will qualify. This is better as compared to 2022 with 89.3 per cent,\u201d Uneb executive secretary Dan Odongo said.<\/p>\n

Below is the general performance in UACE 2023 compared to UACE 2022:<\/p>\n

Examiners also revealed improvement in the quality of candidates\u2019 work, with higher mean scores in many subject areas where performance has been reported to have improved, according to Odongo.<\/p>\n

\u201cNotable has been Biology, where performance has been rather poor in the past years. The core science subjects continue to show lower than desired principal performance levels. The factors responsible for this state of affairs include teaching theoretically, with candidates lacking in practical skills to perform experiments, record and interpret their results. Questions based on practical experience posed problems as a result,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n

The board has called for urgent attention to subjects relating to ICT, noting that \u201cmost schools are very ill-equipped in terms of computers and printers required for the practical examination which greatly impacts the acquisition of the skills and quality of work they present during the examination.\u201d<\/p>\n

In 2022, 67,815 (70.3%) learners qualified for university admission as compared to 69.8% in 2020.<\/p>\n
