For the fourth consecutive year, Bridge pupils sat the Primary Leaving Exam (PLE) — 293 sat the exam in Uganda: 162 girls and 131 boys.
Key statistic:
- Bridge pupils have outperformed the national average in the Uganda PLE for the fourth year running.
- For the fourth consecutive year, a higher percentage of Bridge pupils have scored in Division One or Two than their peers, nationally.
- In addition, some of Bridge’s best performers scoring in division 2 came from Nansana, Maganjo and Jinja Karoli, extremely impoverished Ugandan districts.
Girls education:
- Bridge’s two best performing girls come from the Nansana municipality. They both achieved division 1 scores with Jovial Batamuriza Judith scoring an impressive 8 aggregate and Joyce scoring a 10 aggregate.
- Across Eastern Uganda, the most impoverished region, 65% of girls at Bridge achieved division 1 and 2 marks compared to 38% nationally.
- Across Northern Uganda, a similarly poor region, 71% of girls in Bridge schools achieved division 1 and 2; compared to 40% nationally.
Bridge Uganda teachers are proud of these academic results and have been celebrating the achievements of their pupils. The results are a testament to the strength and commitment of Bridge Uganda teachers, pupils and parents.
Whatever the background of our pupils, they can excel with a quality Bridge Uganda education.
