The Education Department of Kitagata Archdeaconry under the Diocese of West Ankole has officially released the 2026 Primary Seven (P7) mock examination results following a centrally marked evaluation exercise across all church-founded primary schools in the area.
Out of the 529 candidates who sat for this year's mock examinations, 39 pupils passed in Division One, 214 in Division Two, 114 in Division Three, and 111 in Division Four. Educational leaders noted that overall pupil performance was fair and serves as a vital benchmark ahead of the upcoming Primary Leaving Examinations (PLE).
Speaking during the release of the results, Canon Charles Aine, Head of the Kitagata Archdeaconry Education Committee, highlighted that the annual mock examinations are specifically designed to build academic rigor and identify learning gaps early.

“These examinations are set annually for candidate classes in both primary and secondary schools,” Canon Aine explained. “Such external examinations help teachers to accurately evaluate their learners, address academic weaknesses, and ensure candidates are fully prepared and confident for their final national examinations.”
To support schools facing resource constraints, Canon Aine donated essential instructional materials, including curriculum textbooks and computers, aimed at modernizing classroom teaching and learning.
Reiterating the diocese's commitment to academic excellence, the Diocesan Education Officer for the Diocese of West Ankole, Rev. Canon Arthur Atwiine, commended the local leadership and urged other areas to adopt similar centralized assessment strategies.

“I thank Kitagata Archdeaconry for the remarkable zeal and commitment they continue to show towards education,” Rev. Canon Atwiine noted. “I strongly urge other archdeaconries within the Diocese of West Ankole to emulate Kitagata’s proactive approach so that we can uplift overall academic performance across our entire educational department.”
Head teachers from participating primary schools commended the Archdeacon of Kitagata, Rev. Bethel Namara, for making educational advancement a central pillar of his pastoral ministry, observing that continuous assessment and institutional support remain key to improving candidate performance in the region.
