COP30: We need a better strategy to fight climate crisis

The Uganda National Examinations Board (UNEB) has expressed concern over the high number of candidates in Division U, which accounts for 10.4% of the total candidates. This statistic raises concerns that these candidates may simply add to the growing number of school drop-outs in the country. Several districts, such as Kibuku, Madi Okollo, Dokolo, Kween, and Namisindwa, have percentages well above the national average, with some reaching as high as 31.5%. Additionally, many other districts have over 20% of their candidates in Division U.

The UNEB executive director, Dan Odong, has stressed the need to investigate and address the causes behind these alarming numbers. It is crucial to identify the factors leading to such low performance and actively work towards finding solutions. Without intervention, this issue could have severe implications for the educational system in Uganda.

The high percentage of candidates in Division U not only highlights the individual students’ struggles but also raises questions about the quality of education provided in certain districts. It is imperative for education policymakers to collaborate with schools, teachers, parents, and relevant stakeholders to devise effective strategies aimed at improving overall student performance.

Factors contributing to poor academic performance can range from inadequate resources and facilities to the lack of experienced and qualified teachers. Socio-economic challenges, such as poverty and limited access to educational opportunities, may also play a significant role in hindering students’ academic progress.In order to address these issues, the UNEB and local authorities should conduct comprehensive research and data analysis to gain a better understanding of the underlying causes. This information will be vital in developing targeted interventions tailored to the specific needs of each district.

Investments should be made in improving the quality of education, including infrastructure development, teacher training programs, and curriculum reform. Additionally, efforts should be made to enhance student support services, such as counseling and mentoring programs, to address the non-academic factors that may be affecting student performance.

About examination malpractice, the board chairman said the board will withhold the results pending investigations.

In accordance with Section 5(2) (b) of the UNEB Act, 2021 the Board will withhold the results of the affected candidates pending completion of investigations. Where there will be a prima facie case, the Board’s tribunal (Examinations Security Committee) will accord all the affected candidates a fair hearing before making final decisions. After the conclusion of the hearings by the Board’s tribunal, the list of districts and schools with cancelled results will be published.said Odong.
