In the Ugandan new curriculum, the grading format is as follows:
- Grades are given on a scale of 1 to 9, with 1 being the lowest and 9 being the highest. - A grade of 1 is considered a fail, while grades 2 to 9 are considered passing grades. - Grades are based on a combination of continuous assessment throughout the school year and a final examination at the end of the year. - The final grade is calculated based on the student's performance in both the continuous assessment and the final examination. - The grading system is designed to provide a more comprehensive assessment of students' knowledge and skills, rather than relying solely on exam results.
- Excellence: Students who score 90% and above in a subject or overall are awarded an "A+" grade. - Assessment Tasks: Students are assessed through a combination of formative (continuous) and summative (end-of-term) assessments. - National Exams: Students complete national exams (Primary Leaving Examination and Uganda Certificate of Education) at the end of primary and secondary education, respectively. - Weighted Average: For S4 and S6, a weighted average is calculated based on the subject and skill coefficients assigned by the Uganda National Curriculum Development Centre (NCDC).
