The national testing organization UNEB dished out some eye-opening insights about Uganda's Advanced Certificate of Education exam results for 2024. Last year, 140,888 students tackled the challenging test. Dan Odongo, UNEB's top executive, broke down the performance during his Friday announcement, highlighting bright spots and bumpy patches across different subjects.

Some academic areas showed impressive gains. Economics, literature in English, physics, and biology saw notable improvements that caught educators' attention. Odongo specifically pointed out positive strides in economics, literature, and biology that signaled student progress.

However, the results weren't all rosy. Several subjects experienced performance declines. Christian Religious Education, mathematics, geography, agriculture, and chemistry saw decreased student achievements. Odongo emphasized that mathematical weakness created challenges, impacting students' ability to respond effectively across multiple subject areas.

A critical observation emerged about student learning. Candidates consistently struggled to connect academic knowledge with real-world scenarios. Odongo shared this concern directly with Education Minister Janet Museveni, who had not yet officially released the examination results at the time of reporting.
