5 months agoon

A nationwide study led by Prof. Fredrick Jones Muyodi has revealed multiple factors contributing to poor performance in Biology in Uganda’s national examinations, with the Northern and Eastern regions being the most affected. The study highlights significant gaps in practical learning, digital access, and teaching methods, underscoring an urgent need for educational reforms.
Factors that prompted the study
Launched in 2023, the study was undertaken in response to growing concerns over the long-term decline in Biology performance in the Uganda Advanced Certificate of Education (UACE) examinations.
An earlier analysis conducted by the School of Biosciences at the College of Natural Sciences (CONAS), Makerere University, revealed that since the late 1970s, performance in Biology at the UACE level had consistently fallen below expectations. Over time, the situation worsened, as reflected in the annual examination results released by the Uganda National Examinations Board (UNEB).
In 2018, for example, only one student out of 13,061 candidates scored an “A” in Biology, while just 38% scored at least an “E”. Although 2019 saw a slight increase, overall results remained far below national standards, a trend that persisted into the post-COVID-19 era.

Poor performance in Biology has serious implications, as the subject underpins 70–100% of academic and research work across the College of Natural Sciences, the College of Health Sciences (CHS), the College of Veterinary Medicine, Animal Resources and Biosecurity (COVAB), and the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences (CAES). Weak results affect student progression and threaten Uganda’s life sciences ecosystem, impacting key sectors and government ministries.
In response, Makerere University, through the School of Biosciences at CoNAS in collaboration with the College of Education and External Studies (CEES), launched a study to investigate and address the problem. Funded by the University’s Research and Innovations Fund (MakRIF), the study examined teacher qualifications, curriculum depth, laboratory infrastructure, and student attitudes towards the subject.


Dissemination of the Study Findings
The project team presented their findings to stakeholders at a workshop held on 19th March 2026 at Makerere University. The event was attended by the Commissioner for Secondary Education at the Ministry of Education and Sports, Mrs. Juliet Atuhairwe Muzoora, alongside senior leaders from Makerere University.
Factors undermining performance in Biology
Guided by the socio-ecological model, the project team interviewed 5,000 participants, including teachers, students, parents, school administrators, and curriculum experts, across 100 districts nationwide. Key challenges identified include:
- Inadequate practical learning – Many schools lack functional laboratories, leaving students unable to connect concepts to real-life applications.
- Limited digital access – Poor internet connectivity and lack of digital learning tools hinder modern science education.
- Ineffective teaching methods – Overreliance on lectures weakens conceptual understanding.
- Gender disparities – Lower confidence and limited participation of female students in practical work.
- Negative community perceptions – Low motivation resulting from societal attitudes toward Biology.

Recommendations for Improvement
Despite a notable improvement in the 2025 Uganda Advanced Certificate of Education (UACE) examinations, the project team recommends a series of strategic interventions:
- Expansion of practical learning through fieldwork and project-based activities, with government support to fund hands-on initiatives.
- Investing in digital infrastructure, prioritizing internet access and online resources for underserved schools.
- Upgrading laboratories with modern equipment and increasing technical support to create conducive learning environments.
- Strengthening teacher development through continuous professional development programs promoting inquiry-based teaching.
- Aligning curriculum and assessments by fostering collaboration between the NCDC and UNEB to ensure coherence between instruction and exams.
- Enhancing student engagement through mentorship programs, academic clubs, and career guidance initiatives.
- Promoting gender equity in science education through targeted interventions.
The project team emphasizes that these interventions are essential for developing a generation of Biology students well-equipped to meet the demands of higher education and scientific careers. They advocate for coordinated action among government agencies, schools, and communities to reverse current trends and strengthen science education nationwide.
To further support efforts to improve performance in Biology, the team is seeking additional funding to pilot interventions in the most affected regions, particularly Northern and Eastern Uganda, and to establish a monitoring and evaluation framework to track progress and ensure lasting impact.
