Achievement of Primary School Pupils in Uganda in Numeracy and Literacy in English

Abstract

The rationale of 2015 NAPE Primary Assessment was to determine pupils' learning achievements and the context in which it occurs. This was done by determining the achievement of pupils in Numeracy and Literacy in English. The instruments were administered to pupils of Primary 3 (P 3) and Primary 6 (P 6). In addition, the P 6 tests were administered to in-service teachers, pre-service teachers and PTC tutors. It should, however, be noted that in-service teachers and tutors were tested on the subject areas they teach while Pre-service teachers sat for tests in both subject areas.
