Plus Two High School in Bushenyi has defied all odds in last year’s Uganda Certificate of Education (UCE) examinations after all the 104 candidates who were registered for the final national examinations performed exceedingly well, passing in Result 1, and all qualified to the UCE certificate.
Despite all the rigorous challenges that came with the new curriculum the school still performed excellently well to attain the high results.
In her congratulatory message to students, teachers and parents, the school’s head teacher Ms. Linnie Tumwebaze wrote; “I would like to congratulate the Board of Directors, Administrators, Staff, Students, Parents and all well-wishers of Plus Two High School Bushenyi upon the excellent performance in the UCE 2024 UNEB results.”
Plus Two High School has maintained its high performance in national examinations by UNEB both in the entire western region and in the whole country at large.
In the new Lower Secondary Curriculum in Uganda, the letter grades (A, B, C, D, F) are converted into points as follows: A: 5 points, B: 4 points, C: 3 points, D: 2 points and E: 1 point.
These points are then summed up to give a total score, which is used to determine the student’s overall performance. For example, if a student gets: A in Mathematics, that is equal to 5 points, B in English (4 points), C in Science (3 points). Their total score would be: 5 + 4 + 3 = 12 points.
