Senior six examination results have been released in Kampala by education minister, Jesicca Alupo. According to the results, arts students have performed better than their science counterparts. But this is not good for a country with many redundant and jobless ‘artists’. What happened to the government policy of promoting sciences? Is it not working?

The Secretary of Uganda National Examination Board says that the performance in last year’s Ugandan Advanced Certificate of Education (UACE) improved slightly with 99.3% of the candidates qualified for the UACE award compared to 99.2 per cent in 2011.

The best done subjects were History, Entrepreneurship, Geography, Literature, Chemistry and Biology. The candidates performed very poor in divinity, Islam, Math, Physics, economics and Agriculture.

The total number of S6 students who sat the exams was 111,456 compared to 103,760 candidates in 2011.

He also said that results of upto 1,603 candidates had been withheld due to suspected involvement in various forms of malpractice that included external assistance and impersonation among others.

He says these students are from a total of 43 districts across the country.

Over 8,700 scouts were deployed across the country to ensure that the exams are leakage free.

Meanwhile the minister for education and sports JessicaAlupo has noted a reduction in the number of candidates who register but do not sit for the exams.

She has also asked district leaders to work towards changing the attitudes of their people towards education.

UNEB Chairman Fagil Mande says the 2012 performance was good but there is still a lot that needs to be done to improve even further.

Hundreds of women across the globe desire to reduce the size of their stomachs after delivery. There are women whose stomachs remain big after delivery as if they are pregnant again whereas they are not. So in this article we have brought to you how you can reduce the size of your stomach after a C- section.

From the moment the baby is born, the woman’s hormonal changes cause midsection to deflate, shrinking it back to some closer to its pregnancy state.

Naturally it will take about four weeks for the uterus to contract to its normal or original size. Meanwhile, a woman should regularly breastfeed her baby or babies.

The mothers who breastfeed their babies burn extra calories to make milk, so they usually lose pregnant weight more quickly than their non-nursing counterparts.

Also learn to consult a specialist in women health affairs on exercises that firm the belly and are safe for a mother or mothers who have undergone a C-section.
