At least 36,701 candidates out of 48,079 have passed the 2024 Certificate of Secondary Education examinations, according to results released yesterday by the national Ministry of General Education and Instruction.
Kuyok Abol Kuyok, the Minister of General Education and Instruction, announced the examination results and stated that the Ministry has implemented a system to prevent delays in future result releases.

“As indicated in the score distribution, a total of 11,378 candidates—about 6,573 males and 4,805 females—were unsuccessful. This represents nearly a quarter, 23.7%,” he added.

He also disclosed that 130 candidates were set for the commercial section at Juba Commercial Secondary School, while 197 candidates were assigned to the technical section at Juba Technical Secondary School.
Kuyok stated that the Ministry of General Education and Instruction will focus on the recruitment and training of teachers in Chemistry, Principles of Accounting, and Arabic Language to enhance curriculum delivery.
“Subject performance analysis indicates that Chemistry, Principles of Accounting, and Arabic Language were the lowest-performing subjects in the 2024 CSE examinations, while Agriculture, Computer Science, Physics, Islamic Religion, English Literature, and Citizenship showed relatively good improvement,” he said.
“Members of the public and candidates are advised to obtain their official results from the schools where the students took their examinations. Alternatively, they can use the result-check application by dialing star 113 followed by their index number,” he added.
