KYAMBOGO University has hiked admission requirements for entry into Primary Teachers Colleges (PTCs) from the 2005/2006 academic year.

The university academic registrar, Dr. Alfred Cula’s circular to PTC principals and headteachers of secondary schools said entry requirements into PTCs would be a Uganda Education Certificate (UCE) with a minimum of six passes obtained at one sitting, up from the previous four.

Cula said the university council resolved that a candidate must pass English and Mathematics and two science subjects. He said the two science subjects must be chosen from at least two categories.

Category A includes Agricultural Principles and Practices, category B; Biological sciences (Health science, general science-Biology), category C; Physical sciences (Physics and chemistry).

Cula said visually impaired and deaf candidates would be admitted with a minimum of any six passes.
