Chemistry Was Worst Done Subject in 2020 UCE Results 2021 – UNEB

Chemistry remains the worst done subject during the 2020 Uganda Certificate of Education (UCE) examinations; the Uganda National Examinations Board (UNEB) has revealed.

Overall, however, there was an improvement in the performance in the large entry subjects except in Geography, Chemistry and Biology, the UNEB executive director, Dan Odongo, said during the release of O’level exams today.

“There is an overall improvement in performance in the large entry subjects except in Geography, Chemistry and Biology, although Biology showed a slight improvement at the Distinction 2 level. Worth noting with concern is the overall pass levels for science subjects where nearly half of the candidates have not achieved the minimum pass 8 level,” Odongo stated.

Christian Religious Education, Islamic Religious Education, Agriculture and commerce were among the generally best-done subjects.

Odongo said UCE examination is designed to assess the degree of acquisition of the necessary knowledge, skills and competences in the various learning areas; and to lay a foundation for specialisation at higher education levels.
