Top Of The Class

The Uganda National Examinations Board (UNEB) released the 2023 Uganda Certificate of Education (UCE) examination results on February 15th, 2024 and we are proud to announce that several of our sponsored students earned prestigious Division 1 scores.

Of these students, Peter Andrew Ssenyondo scored 10 in 10 to emerge as the most outstanding student in his entire school, St. Cyprian High School! His achievement made local news appearing on Kampala Media TV:

Peter Andrew is proudly carried on the shoulders of his School Director with cheers from St. Cyprian students and staff.

Children of Uganda’s team also held a special victory celebration for Peter Andrew and fellow S.4 leaver candidates. Students and staff enjoyed a special cake, lunch, music, dancing and one-on-one career guidance sessions.

Students who scored Division 1 will be continuing on to Advanced Secondary School (S.5 and S.6 levels). The remaining S.4 leavers will be diverted to vocational school and they have each chosen a career track. All of the students are excited and grateful to their sponsors for the continued love and support.
