By Dr0ne Staff
UNEB today, released the 2022/2023 Uganda Certificate Examinations (UCE) results.
There was better performance in the 2022 examination. Overall, male candidates performed better than girls.
A total of 349,459 candidates registered for the examination from 4,185 Exam centres.
However,
A total of 1,035 results will be withheld in accordance with Section 5 (2) (b) of the UNEB Act No 1 of 2021 due to malpractice though the number of resuits to be withheld has been reducing steadily at this level.
Examination centres from which results are withheld will be notified through their portals.
Female candidates performed better than males in English Language. In Chemistry, the male candidates show better performance in the higher grades but, overall, a higher percentage of females obtained at least a pass. This trend in the disparity in the performance of male and female candidates has been observed over the year.
A total of 349,455 candidates from 3,703 examination centers, registered to write the Uganda Certificate of Education (UCE) Examinations last year.
Of the total number of candidates, 175,923 representing 50.3% were male candidates whereas 173,522 representing 49.7% were female candidates.
114,200 students, representing 32.7% of the total number of candidates, were funded under the Universal Secondary Education (USE) program.
235,245 representing 77.3% of the total number of candidates who registered for UCE last year, were from the Non-USE schools.
Dan Odongo, Executive Director UNEB: In Sciences, the problems have remained the same as in recent years. Candidates showed weaknesses in the handling of apparatus during the practical tests.
The weaknesses were also shown in making and recording observations and drawing conclusions from those observations; tabulation of experimental results and interpretation of the results to meet the demands of the question.
Dan Odongo, Executive Director UNEB: There is an improvement in performance in the large entry subjects except in Christian Religious Education, Biology and Commerce. Mathematics showed better performance at the Distinction level, but declined overall.
