The wait is over! The 2024 Uganda Certificate of Education (UCE) results are officially here, and they signal a pivotal shift in Uganda’s education landscape.
This year’s release isn’t just about grades; it’s about a transformation.
UNEB navigated a dual challenge: the transitional exam from the old curriculum and the groundbreaking first exam under the new competency-based system. Talk about pressure!
Professor Celestino Obua, UNEB Chairperson, acknowledged the complexities. While the transitional exam proceeded smoothly (barring the usual time management hiccups!), the new curriculum presented uncharted territory.
Some public sectors even expressed doubt about UNEB’s ability to deliver. But deliver they did! This is a testament to their dedication and adaptability.
This year’s 2024 UCE results reflect a major overhaul. The shift to a competency-based curriculum emphasizes crucial skills like confidence, communication, and research.
These aren’t just buzzwords; they’re the building blocks of future success.
The National Curriculum Development Center (NCDC) and UNEB collaborated closely to make this transition as smooth as possible. This collaboration is key to the success of the new curriculum.
The New Grading System
One of the most significant changes? The grading system. Forget the old 1-9 scale.
We’ve entered the era of A, B, C, D, and E grades. This aligns Uganda with international standards, making our qualifications more easily understood and recognized globally.
This is a huge step forward for Ugandan students. Imagine the opportunities this opens up!
UNEB’s commitment to excellence doesn’t stop there. They’ve also achieved ISO 9001:2015 certification.
This prestigious recognition underscores their dedication to quality and adherence to global best practices.
It’s a mark of distinction, demonstrating their commitment to providing reliable and high-quality assessment services. This is something to be celebrated!
