Qualified candidates will receive Result 1, reflected on both the transcript and certificate.
This high qualification rate signals strong overall performance across the country.

Performance Comparison: UCE 2025 vs 2024
When compared with 2024, the 2025 UCE results show measurable improvement in achievement levels.
Under the new reporting format:
Candidate performance appears in letter grades A, B, C, D, and E.
These grades represent clearly defined achievement levels.
Statistical and psychometric analysis determined the final grading bands.
The improved results suggest better adaptation to the Competency-Based Curriculum, stronger continuous assessment practices, and improved exam preparedness across schools.
If you sat for the exams, you benefit from a system designed to measure both knowledge and practical competencies.
How the Competency-Based Grading System Works
The Competency-Based Curriculum evaluates learners using two major components:
1. Continuous Assessment, 20 percent
Schools assess students during the learning cycle.
This includes:
Class assignments
Practical work
Projects
School-based tests
Continuous Assessment contributes 20 percent of the final score.
2. End-of-Cycle Examination, 80 percent
The national examination contributes 80 percent of the final grade.
This exam tests:
Subject understanding
Application of knowledge
Problem-solving skills
By combining school-based and national assessment, the system provides a more balanced evaluation of learner performance.
You are not judged only by a final paper. Your performance throughout the learning cycle counts.
