Kyamakanda Secondary School is celebrating another remarkable academic achievement following the release of the 2025 Uganda Advanced Certificate of Education (UACE) results.
The school registered an impressive performance with one of its candidates, Akandwanaho Joshua, a BCM/ICT student, scoring 20 points. His performance ranked him the best student in Western Uganda and the third best nationwide.
The headteacher, David Kapiira Turyamusiima, expressed gratitude to the Almighty God for the excellent results the school attained. He also appreciated the Bishop of North Kigezi Diocese, Rt. Rev. Onesmus Asiimwe, for his continued prayers and spiritual guidance towards the school community.
Turyamusiima further commended the Board of Directors and the Parents Teachers Association for their continuous support, which he said has greatly contributed to the school’s academic success. He attributed the good performance to discipline among students and the dedication of teachers who are committed to supporting learners to excel.
He noted that the achievement has greatly motivated the current Senior Six candidates of 2026 to work even harder so that they can surpass the performance of previous candidates.
Akandwanaho Joshua, who scored the 20 points, attributed his success to God’s grace, teamwork with fellow students, and effective use of school facilities such as Wi-Fi to conduct research and enhance his studies. He emphasized the importance of prioritizing academics and maintaining strong collaboration with classmates.
He also encouraged students in lower classes, especially those in Senior Six, to remain focused, choose subject combinations they are passionate about, and always consult their teachers whenever they face academic challenges.
Meanwhile, Venus Agasha, a Senior Six Science candidate for 2026 offering BAG/ICT, said the school community is excited about achieving 20 points for two consecutive years, in 2024 and 2025. She noted that this accomplishment has inspired the current candidates to believe that they can also perform exceptionally well.
Agasha added that the 2026 candidates are determined to work hard, consult their teachers regularly, and maintain discipline in order to achieve even better results in the upcoming examinations.
