List: Here are Uganda’s Best 300 O-level Secondary Schools (2022)

Ahead of reopening of education institutions starting January 10, Uganda’s top O-level (lower) secondary level schools have been ranked.

The latest ranking by The Pearl Times education desk is based on the results of the 2020 Uganda Certificate of Education (UCE) results.

To help parents and guardians make informed decisions on what schools are suitable for their children, this publication will offer a number of lists ranking schools by gender, geographical location and subjects.

The first ranking is based on number of students in top divisions.
