Male candidates beat their female counterparts in all subjects, the just released 2011 Uganda Certificate of Education (UCE) results show. Female candidates performed best in English language and literature in English. Education Minister Jessica Alupo Wednesday morning released the UCE results, indicating improved performance at all levels. Failure rate dropped from 6.5 percent to 4.2 percent.
A total of 273,157 candidates sat for Senior Four national examinations last year. Of these, 107,977 were under the Universal Secondary Education. A large number of candidates have obtained the UEC certificate, 254,220 against 241,456 in 2010. “It is pleasant to note that the failure rate has remained quite low despite the increase in candidates,” Uganda National Examinations Board, secretary Mathew Bukenya said.
Unlike the previous years, candidates, who will have passed, will have a chance of enjoying free education in Senior Five. The education ministry has already selected 600 schools to roll out free A’ level education countrywide. These schools, according to the ministry’s permanent secretary, Francis-Xavier Lubanga, will partly accommodate 63,575 students. In total, 74,246 S4 leavers will in the next academic year have a chance to access free education in schools and other institutions. Apart from those in A’level, 5,665 more students will be admitted at government technical and vocational.

The results were expected to be released last Friday but allegations of cheating are said to have delayed the announcement as UNEB was tasked to properly investigate the cases of alleged cheating before the release.
It is understood that over the last few days, the Ntinda based examinations body has interviewed several school administrators and teachers over the allegations.
Speaking to Daily Monitor on Tuesday, UNEB Executive Secretary Mathew Bukenya said the board was equally concerned that the release had been delayed a thing he said could affect the candidates preparing to join “A Levels.”
Sources say a number of “top” in Kampala and Wakiso were on a red-list to have their results withheld.
