Fort Portal Secondary School has once again distinguished itself among the top-performing schools in the 2025 Uganda Certificate of Education (UCE) examinations, recording remarkable improvement—particularly in science subjects.
The school’s best candidate scored an impressive 8 As and 2 Bs. Other top performers followed closely with combinations of 7 As and 3 Bs, 6 As, and 4 Bs. Notably, the majority of candidates attained grades A and B, reflecting the school’s strong academic standards.
Among the leading candidates were Musiimenta Walter, Kahuma Hanisha, Musiimenta Phiona, Kasemiire Evelyn, Kabasinguzi Peninah, and Muhumuza Ronald, among others.
Commenting on the results, the Head Teacher, Mr. Reagan Kateregga, expressed great pride in the school’s achievement, particularly the exceptional improvement in science subjects. He described the performance as highly encouraging, noting that it signifies major academic progress for both the school leadership and the institution at large.
“I’m grateful for the wonderful performance and the results that our learners have achieved. We have managed to obtain 152 As and 1,142 Bs, with no Es. We are grateful to Almighty God. I thank the staff, the teachers, and our best candidate, Musiimenta Walter,” he said.
Mr. Kateregga congratulated the candidates and teachers for their dedication and hard work that led to this success. He also extended appreciation to parents for their unwavering support, especially in providing essential scholastic materials and facilitating their children during examination time.
The 2025 UCE results were officially released yesterday by the Minister of Education and Sports and First Lady, Janet Kataaha Museveni. This year’s results mark the second cohort of learners assessed under the new Competence-Based Curriculum (CBC).
The State Minister for Higher Education, Dr. John Chrysostom Muyingo, reaffirmed the government’s commitment to strengthening quality assurance, effective implementation of the new curriculum, and promoting equitable education across the country. He urged teachers to demonstrate creativity and ensure active engagement as they implement the Competence-Based Curriculum.
Dr. Muyingo further explained that the Competence-Based Curriculum is designed to better equip learners for progression into higher education and technical training. He advised school administrators to remain focused on achieving the core objectives of the new curriculum to ensure its successful implementation nationwide.
