Economics as a subject at UACE 2020 was poorly performed due to different reasons. Enock Kibuuka a teacher facilitating the Subject recently raised his concerns over the Subject failure rate as Quoted in the New Vision.
“I regularly attend and facilitate in teachers’ of economics workshops and seminars. Truth be told, you appreciate how ill-prepared many of these teachers of the subject are, which understandably spills over to students. The quality of notes of many teachers of economics, irrespective of whether senior or junior teachers is alarming. I have found out that most teachers do not read widely in their areas of specialisation, as a result, often obsolete content is given to students, which largely contributes to their failure.”- Enock Kibuuka
The National Curriculum Development Centre (NCDC) Uganda Advanced Certificate of Education teaching syllabus for economics specifies two papers in which leaners have to be examined and assessed: Economics P220/1 Paper One, which seeks to test the students’ understanding of basic economic theories and concepts. For the proper examination format, the questions in this paper do not have any particular economy in mind, but rather in any given economy.
The same worries of teacher ill content and deeper understanding of the topics like taxations were also noted in the UACE release Speech in subjects like Economics and Entrepreneurship.
In general, as of UACE 2020, with over 33000 students sitting for Economics, atleast 0.83% scored A as compared to 21.39% with F.
Only 279 candidates countrywides managed an A from 110 schools
