How does CBC assessment work in Uganda?

CBC assessment evaluates what learners can do, not just what they can recall. Teachers assess learners against competency levels (A–E: Exceptional, Outstanding, Satisfactory, Basic and Elementary) using formative tasks, summative exams, Activities of Integration and projects - across the cognitive, psychomotor and affective domains - and the results are consolidated into a CBC report card.
