The Best Performing Districts in UACE 2023 Exams

The Uganda National Examinations Board – UNEB on Thursday this week released the official results of the 2023 UACE examinations where 110,553 students sat for the final examinations across 2,102 centers nationwide.

The performance, which according to Uneb’s executive secretary, Dan Odongo was a stellar one marked a substantial rise of 12,663 candidates compared to the preceding year with a 99.1% passing rate, for which 73% qualify for University admission.

However, despite a number of districts continuing to post good performance in the UACE examinations year after year, several others continue to lag, while a few even had no candidate for the S.6 examinations which were conducted between November – December 2023.

The ranking of the best performing districts is based on the number of As per district, meaning that districts with more As rank higher than those with less.

In the list, which you can see below; at least 11 districts had no candidate score an A (equivalent to D1 at O’level) in any subject.

These include; Zombo, Kapelebyong, Nebbi, Butebo, Kaabong, Obongi, Buvuma, Amolatar, Nabilatuk, Madi-Okollo, and Amudat.
