However among the science subjects, Physics recorded a significant improvement in performance compared to previous years. Many students demonstrated a strong understanding of the subject matter, leading to higher scores.
This positive trend could be attributed to effective teaching methods, increased access to learning resources, and enhanced teacher training.
However, Chemistry and Biology did not fare as well. The results indicate a decline in performance, raising concerns about the effectiveness of the curriculum and teaching strategies in these subjects.
Further analysis is needed to identify the root causes and address any gaps in the current approach to teaching these sciences.
Janet Museveni expressed her commitment
The UNEB spokesperson Ms Jennifer Kalule emphasized the importance of science education in Uganda’s development.
She highlighted the need for continuous efforts to improve the quality of teaching and learning in science subjects, as they play a critical role in shaping students’ future career paths in scientific fields.
The Minister of Education and Sports Ms Janet Kataaha Museveni acknowledged the mixed results and expressed her commitment to address the challenges faced in science education.
Plans are underway to review the curriculum, provide additional support to teachers, and enhance practical learning opportunities for students.
It is essential to note that despite the mixed results in science performance, overall, the UCE examination results showcased a commendable performance by students across various subjects.
The achievements and areas for improvement identified in the science subjects should serve as a catalyst for educational stakeholders to work collaboratively towards enhancing science education in Uganda.

![[dropcap]A[/dropcap] section of women in Bugongo parish and Nawangaiza parish in Nawandala Sub County, Iganga District have decried the near-impossible terms set for them to access GROW funds. They have now petitioned their woman member of parliament for Iganga Hon. Kauma Sauda Alibaawo to ask the government for revised terms and conditions. This is to enable them to benefit from the program. The disgruntled women accuse the implementers of the program of charging the money. They are also asking for their land titles and land agreements. They said that such properties are governed by their husbands. These, therefore want the government through their woman MP to intervene and revise the requirements for one to benefit. The women were on Wednesday at Namabwere primary school in Nawandala Sub County. They had gathered in their respective groups to receive over 300 chickens from Hon Alibaawo in her campaign to improve the livelihood of women in Iganga district. Each group was given 50 chicken as start-up capital in their journey to prosperity. Read what some leaders said; Ms Naigambi Lydia from Nawandala Trading Centre says, “They solicited money from us through opening bank accounts and depositing Shs80,000. They also asked for land titles and land agreements from us yet we don’t have such things. I was informed that I needed to have a business with a capital of Shs4m yet my capital was very small.” The chairperson Kisoboka Saving Group in Nawandala Ms. Nakagolo Faith said they were not able to join the program. This is given the many conditions attached. She also asked their woman MP to raise their concerns to the relevant offices. The MP condemned the mode of implementation of the program. She cited that it has turned to benefit the well-off class of women other than the intended group. She further asked the government to intervene saying the current strings attached to the programme are very tight to accommodate a common woman. GROW project is a Government of Uganda initiative that arose out of the need to respond to the needs of women entrepreneurs. This is especially those who want to grow their businesses, sustain their self-employment and create more jobs.
