The Minister of Education and Sports, Namirembe Bitamazire has appealed for all stakeholders to improve learning of science subjects at all levels of education.
Bitamazire received 2010 A level results from Bukenya
Bitamazire says the doing and passing of science subjects by many students is critical for the development of the country as science spurs development.
She was speaking Wednesday as the Ministry received the Uganda National Examinations Board for 2010 Uganda Advanced Certificate of Education (UACE) results.
Bitamazi expressed concern that says although there was a slight 0.02% improvement from the previous, science subjects continue to be poorly done.
She says less than 20% of the 101,495 students who sat for A-level exams in 2010 did science subjects. Bitamazire revealed that the ministry has started a review of the science curriculum right from pre-primary to tertiary in a bid to fit with the growing global needs for science based innovation.
The results presented by UNEB Secretary Mathew Bukenya show that boys performed well in Economics, Physics and Chemistry, while girls did well in Literature and Divinity.
Bukenya reported that a total of 61,820 have qualified for places in tertiary institutions having managed to get two principal passes.
He says a total of 68 candidates have had their results withheld for further investigations for being in possession of an authorized notes and collusion in examination room.
