Unraveling the Tale of PLE 2023 Math Performance in Bukwo District Schools: Exploring Patterns and Wonders
Bukwo District, situated in the eastern region of Uganda, holds a significant role as one of the Local Governments operating under the country's decentralization policy. Established in July 2005, the district aims to enhance service delivery to its residents. Nestled in the heart of Bukwo town, which serves as its political, administrative, and commercial center, the district is accessible through Suam Kapchorwa road and a security road (Sironko - Muyembe-Chepsukunya- Grik River to Bukwo) or via Lwakaka or Malaba border through Kitale in Kenya and then Suam. Covering a total area of 528 square kilometers, the district's geographical features include diverse landscapes, with at least 90% of its land located on the slopes of Mt. Elgon.
In the aftermath of the recent reveal of the Primary Leaving Examinations (PLE) 2023 results, let's embark on a journey to understand the story behind the math performance in schools across Bukwo District. This exploration aims to shed light on intriguing patterns and wonders that lie within the marks achieved by students. The District grapples with a significant challenge as it bears the weight of the highest general failures among the districts, standing at a staggering 37.8%.

Noteworthy Discoveries:
- Wide Range of Scores: There's a significant difference in how schools performed. Only one school has the only student in the district scoring high marks (D1 and D2) , while others seem to face challenges, with more students falling into lower performance categories like F9. Best Math mark was D2
- Struggles in the Middle: Schools encounter difficulties in the middle performance bands (C3 to C6), with varying numbers of students achieving these grades. It suggests that some schools need additional support to improve understanding and application of math concepts.
- Concerns about Passing Rates: The number of students in the F9 category is quite substantial across all schools. This raises concerns about overall passing rates and its potential impact on students' educational progress.
These scores indicate potential challenges, including variations in resources, limited engagement between teachers and parents, and the use of ineffective teaching methods.
