Odongo says that at the minimum two principal levels required for University admission, 70.3% qualify noting improvements in History, Economics, Entrepreneurship Education, Geography and Art, Mathematics, and chemistry recorded significant improvements at A pass level.
Performance in Biology has again dropped and examiners have attributed this to candidates having problems with questions on genetics and applications of biological concepts to the environment.
