Mr Matthew Bukenya the Uganda National Examination Board (UNEB) Executive Secretary has this morning released the 2014 Advanced Level results. During the press conference held in the Ministry of Education boardroom a number of figures were supplied highlighting a lower registration and exam completion rate from the previous year.

The reduced number of candidates in an increasing population is cause to worry; it also brings up the question of why this trend. Another worrisome point noted is the increased malpractice cases that have almost doubled from 2013’s 74 cases to 133. The Minister of Education Ms. Jessica Alupo who was present for the occassion asked for an investigation into the matter.

It was however noted that the 2014 candidates had a better performance than their 2013 counterparts.
