In response, the _Minister of State for Primary Education, Dr. Joyce Moriku Kaducu,_ responded as follows: 1. Thanked Parliament for approving the new curriculum. 2. Recounted that this is a competency-based curriculum. 3. Recounted that Uganda has moved away from the traditional grading system to a system about the level of competence a learner gets over the years. Continuous assessment – *20 percent and 80 percent summative grading.* 4. New grading has been introduced with different codes with the following connotations: *Result 1* – Qualifies to get a certificate. *Result 2* – Does not meet the minimum requirement for a certificate, i.e., maybe no project work, did less than 9 subjects. *Result 3* – Did not meet the minimum level of achievement in these subjects.
