The Role of Digital Literacy in Continuous Based Assessment in Technical Institutions in Uganda

Abstract

Technical and Vocational Education training for multi-skilled is key in Uganda's economy. Performance of students in Ugandan Technical Institutions has always been poor and sometimes close to 72 percent failure. Creation of Uganda Business and Technical Examinations Board (UBTEB) was one such effort to address this problem. As part of the Competence Based Education and Training (CBET), the Board applies Continuous Based Assessment (CBA) to improve performance by candidates.
