The Uganda National Examinations Board (Uneb) has registered improved performance in this year’s Primary Leaving Examinations (PLE) results despite disruptions in the education calendar due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

At least 749,761 candidates from 14,300 centres registered for PLE in 2022 compared to 695,804 in 2023. Of these, 513,085 (68.4 per cent) candidates were UPE beneficiaries and 236, 677 (31.6 per cent) were candidates from private schools.

The 2020 examinations also brought together more than 30,000 examination supervisors and invigilators and about 6,000 examiners, checkers and adjudicators, and other temporary staff at the 12 examiners marking venues.

While releasing the results at Statehouse in Entebbe today Friday, Uneb executive secretary, Dan N. Odongo, noted an increase in candidature by 53,957 (7.75 per cent), the highest rate of increase recorded. Candidature has been increasing by an average of 2.5 per cent over the last five years.
