Mbale: Nkoma SS, a Mbale City-based school offering the Universal Secondary Education (USE) program, is celebrating its outstanding performance in the recent Uganda Advanced Certificate of Education (UACE) exams.

While it’s not our desired outcome, we’re grateful for what God has given us. Notably, we achieved a B grade in Biology for the first time at Nkoma.”

Hajji Kawanguzi Abubakr, the Headteacher of Nkoma SS, thanked the Almighty Allah for the school’s improvement. “We appreciate the efforts of our parents, teachers, and students. As a school, we promise to work on areas where we haven’t performed as expected.”
