Out of the 150 candidates from the school, the majority exhibited high academic prowess, with only a handful securing two principal passes across the different levels.

"The dedication and hard work of our students have truly paid off, and we are immensely proud of their achievements," stated Mr. Kakiika during the release of the examination results. He emphasized the importance of a holistic education approach that focuses not only on academic excellence but also on nurturing well-rounded individuals capable of making a positive impact on society.

Aggrey Kibenge, the Permanent Secretary for the Ministry of Gender, Labor, and Social Development, who is also a renowned educationist, shared his insights on the remarkable performance of Ugandan students. He commended the students for their diligence and commitment to their studies, acknowledging the positive impact of quality education on the nation's development.

"This outstanding performance reflects the dedication of both students and educators alike. It is a testament to the commitment to excellence in education within our country," noted Mr. Kibenge.

The success of Ugandan students in the Cambridge Advanced Subsidiary Examinations highlights the nation's continuous strides towards fostering a robust and competitive education system.
