Kampala, (UG):- The Uganda National Examinations Board (UNEB) has officially released the results from the 2024 Uganda Advanced Certificate of Education (UACE).
The function, underway at State House Nakasero, is presided over by the Honorable Minister of Education and Sports, First Lady Hon. Janet Museveni.
The 2024 UACE Results are the final phase of national exams released by UNEB following the PLE & UCE results, which were released earlier this year in January and February, respectively.
UNEB Chairperson Prof. Celestino Obua, in his remarks, noted that “…there has been a near exponential increase in candidature from 110,566 in 2023 to nearly 142,000 as shown in the Release Statement.”
“The number of candidates who did not report to take the examination has proportionately reduced, a trend we have noticed now for three years running,” he said on Friday morning.
Prof Obua has revealed that the upward trend in the numbers of candidates offering the STEM subjects has continued, although the numbers are still well below those offering the humanities subjects.
“Without downplaying in any way the important contributions of the humanities subjects, we need the Sciences to spur our technological progress,” he noted.
“Deliberate efforts must, therefore, be made to increase the numbers of students offering Mathematics and Sciences to create the pool from which the tertiary institutions can select students for the various science programmes. One of the ways, Mama, is to continue to improve on the pass levels, which is being implemented by improving the adequacy of science teaching learning materials in many of our schools.”
