UCE results; Joy and tears in same home

Azharu received a cow from his father Hajj Sulaiman Kafeero in appreciation of his hardwork

There was a sense of mixed emotions in the home of Hajj Sulaiman Kafeero in Kitende, Wakiso district. His son Azharu Kafeero, mind 16, was sobbing profusely after getting his results. But his mother Mariam Kafeero was overjoyed by her son’s record-breaking performance.

To Azharu’s mother, scoring 15 points from eight subjects, including outstanding performances in sciences, was a source of pride and worthy of celebration. But Azharu had targeted 12 points. In fact, Azharu had achieved distinction one from three of the toughest subjects; Mathematics, Physics and Technical Drawing.

His performance put him in 5th place out of 220 very brilliant students at Kibuli, according to the mother.

As a matter of fact, according to UNEB’s 2016 UCE results, Azharu was one of the very few students who scored distinction 1 in Physics. He went ahead to garner the best performance in Technical Drawing at Kibuli with a D-1, a kind of performance that had eluded the school for many years.

Azharu’s mother could not hide her excitement when she told The Sunrise that: “I am extremely grateful to Allah for my son’s performance. I pray that he maintains this performance at senior six and beyond.”

For Azharu, the focus is not set to consolidating his ambition of becoming a civil engineer.

And his father’s gift of a cow will likely re-energize him to work even harder.
