Of the total candidature, 357,755 (47.7 per cent) were boys compared to 391,499 (52.25 per cent) girls. This has been the trend in the last seven years, and the gap has been slowly widening.
While presenting the statement of results, the Uneb executive director, Dan N. Odongo, said that a higher proportion of the candidates passed in Division three and above.
“Overall, the performance of 2023 candidates is comparable to that of 2022,” Odongo said.
He, however, noted that the number of candidates in Division U is quite high at 88,256 (10.4%). He said this should raise concern amongst educationists so that this does not just add to the statistics of the country’s school dropouts.
