The Uganda National Examinations Board (UNEB) has released sample papers for the Uganda Certificate of Education competency-based assessment(CBA) under the new lower school curriculum.
This was confirmed by UNEB executive director Dan Odongo noting that this has been done to expose both teachers and learners to the question format of competency-based assessment adding that each paper has a corresponding scoring guide.
According to UNEB, sample papers cover 36 subjects in the categories of humanities, sciences, vocational and languages.

UNEB further implored teachers to familiarize themselves with the sample papers, guide the learners and come up with similar or related scenarios and questions to expose the learners to a variety of test items.
The Ministry of Education and Sports through the National Curriculum Development Center introduced a competence-based curriculum in secondary schools in 2020 and has since held training sessions for teachers across the country on how to implement the new curriculum.
The Competency Based Assessment emphasizes learner-centered pedagogies and the integration of technological and practical innovations in the teaching/learning process.
The 2020 secondary school Language Competence-Based Curriculum replaced the 2008 Integrated English teaching syllabus that emphasized the use of integration at either subject or unit level as opposed to the teaching of language in isolated compartments like grammar, vocabulary, comprehension or writing.
