The Uganda National Examinations Board (UNEB) has set Tuesday, February 11, as the official release date for the Uganda Certificate of Education (UCE) exam results.
In a post shared on its official X platform, UNEB confirmed that the results would be made available to the public on the stated date.
The announcement has been eagerly awaited by students, parents, and educational stakeholders, as it marks the culmination of months of intense preparation and exams for thousands of candidates nationwide.
This year’s examinations were unique, as they encompassed both the inaugural assessments under the New Lower Secondary Curriculum (NLSC) and a one-time transitional examination based on the old curriculum.
A total of 379,748 candidates across 4,168 examination centers nationwide sat for the UCE examinations in 2024. Of these, 369,601 were pioneers of the new curriculum, while 10,147 candidates participated in the transitional examination designed for those who wished to improve their grades or had missed previous examinations.
The 2024 examination cycle marked a significant shift in Uganda’s education system, with the implementation of the NLSC. This curriculum emphasizes competency-based learning, aiming to equip students with practical skills alongside theoretical knowledge. The transitional examination was a one-off initiative to accommodate candidates from the previous system.
