Vocational Students Sat For Their Final Exams

By Cassandra Jones | Communicatio Manager

Brick Laying Exam

Every year, vocational students from around the county sit for their final exams. There are several exams students take including the Directorate of institution training (DIT) exam, Uganda Advanced Certificate of Education (UACE) exam, and Uganda Certificate of Education (UCE) exam. These are students’ final assessment exams that test their ability. Yearly, our students pass with flying colors. Successfully passing their test is the reason why many of them get employed immediately after school.

Over the last few months, Nyaka Vocational Secondary School (NVSS) students have gone through a phased return approach to school in order to take exams. Candidate classes senior 4 and vocational year 2 students completed their DIT Exams.

32 students took their UCE exams in March and will be joining other schools for S5 or take up a course at a different institution depending on how they score on final exams.

16 vocational year 2 students sat for their DIT (Directorate of Industrial Training) exams in April. Passing students are able to take their skills in tailoring, carpentry, brick making and brick laying to earn some income in their communities.

23 senior 6 students took their UACE exams in April. They will join university or another higher learning institution for further education during the next academic year if they excel.

The education these students are receiving is life changing and even allows for some students to work and help their families while attending school.
