Uganda Releases Results of 'A-Level' Exams

The Uganda National Examination Board has released the results of the Uganda Certificate of Education - commonly known as A-levels. Of the 101,269 candidates who took the exams in 2017, 98.5% can go on to tertiary education - but only 34,819 students obtained at least three principal passes - fewer than were attained in 2016.
