Did the 2024 UCE Results get graded per the New Lower Secondary Curriculum (NLSC)?

This year’s UCE results mark a historic milestone for UNEB. For the first time, examinations were conducted under the New Lower Secondary Curriculum (NLSC). Jennifer Kalule, UNEB’s Principal Public Relations Officer, described it as a “unique year in UNEB’s history” since they handled two sets of exams simultaneously.

The numbers paint an impressive picture. A total of 379,748 candidates sat for the exams—369,601 under the new curriculum and 10,147 taking the transitional examination under the old curriculum. The logistical and administrative feat of managing these parallel examinations underscores UNEB’s adaptability in the evolving education landscape.

As students eagerly await their results, it’s clear that February 2025 will be a month to remember. Whether it’s heart-shaped chocolates or heartfelt exam results, one thing’s for sure—this Valentine’s season will be one for the books.
