KAMPALA – Students from Kololo Senior School commenced their Uganda Certificate of Education (UCE) examinations on 16th October 2023. The journey towards academic excellence took its first step with the Geography paper, a subject that often sets the tone for the subsequent subjects in the examination schedule.

This year, Kololo Senior School, renowned for its academic prowess and dedication to nurturing young minds, registered an impressive 769 students to sit for the Uganda National Examination Board (UNEB) examinations. The gender distribution is noteworthy, with 367 girls and 402 boys taking the exams across both the Kololo Senior Secondary School (SSS) Main Centre and its Annex.

A closer look at the gender statistics reveals an interesting trend. The Main Centre of Kololo SSS has registered 262 female students, slightly outnumbered by the 237 male students. In contrast, at the Kololo SSS Annex, the boys, totalling 165, have a stronger presence than the 105 registered girls.

The reason behind the disparity in gender numbers, especially at the Annex, is open to various interpretations. It could be attributed to multiple factors like course preferences, infrastructural provisions, or even socio-cultural influences.

However, the overarching narrative remains the same: Kololo Senior School is a melting pot of diverse students, all aiming for academic success. It’s not just about the numbers but the stories, dreams, and ambitions each student carries.

These examinations, administered by UNEB, serve as a pivotal point in the academic journey of the students. They not only test the knowledge accumulated over the years but also gauge the preparation, dedication, and hard work invested by both the students and the faculty.

Parents, teachers, and well-wishers eagerly await the results, hopeful that Kololo Senior School will continue its legacy of excellence. As the days progress and more papers are tackled, the atmosphere is thick with anticipation, prayers, and wishes for success.

The broader community joins in sending their best wishes to all the candidates. May they conquer their examinations with confidence, knowledge, and the zeal that Kololo Senior School is known for.
