The minister of education and sports ms Jessica Alupo presided over the release of S6 exams which the Uganda National Examinations Board (UNEB) released on Tuesday in Uganda’s capital city Kampala.

According to the 2012 S6 examination results released, there was an increase in last year’s performance compared to the year 2011. There were also a higher percentage of S6 candidates who qualified for a certificate after scoring at least two principal passes.

The S6 examination results showed that female candidates out performed males in the two-principal pass achievement. The best done subjects were History, Economics, Entrepreneurship, Islam/Divinity and Geography.

The results of 404 candidates from Nagalama Islamic School, Gomba Global College and Lugogo KCC centre among others were withheld over exam malpractice. As usual, the best performing schools in S6 exams were in Kampala (with 3,114 candidates passing with four principal passes,) Wakiso came second with 2, 902,  Mukono third with 913 and Masaka with 477. The names of the 715 S6 candidates who failed shall be published later if we happen to get permission from UNEB.
