Releasing the exam results Thursday, executive director of Uganda National Examinations Board (UNEB), Dan Odongo, said a total of 345,695 candidates sat for the examinations out of 345,945 who registered for the examinations.
Out of these, 46,667 passed in division one,76,745 in the second division, 88,690 in the third division and 117,837 passed in division four.
Odongo said a total of 15,756 students will be required to repeat senior four having failed the class.
“A total of 15,756 failed the examinations and are expected to repeat senior four if they wish to proceed to senior five,” he said.
Despite the huge number of students required to repeat the class, the Uganda National Examination Board (UNEB) has reported a reduction in the failure rate after the candidates who sat for the 2022 Uganda Certificate of Education (UCE) posted better performance than their colleagues who sat for the same examinations in 2020.
Odongo noted that there is an improvement in the performance of candidates this year given an increase in the number of candidates who passed in division one and others consecutively.
He said there has been 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. English language improved at credit and overall Pass levels but declined at the distinction level.
Performance in Biology has continued to decline as seen in the last few years.
