Uganda National Examinations Board UNEB has released 2019 Primary Leaving Examination (PLE) results.
Generally, there was better performance in 2019 than in 2018 in the upper divisions 2 and 3.
A candidate is deemed to have passed if he/she obtains divisional grades of 1, 2, 3 or 4. Such candidates will qualify to register for any post-primary examination conducted by UNEB. This year 617,150 candidates passed the PLE compared to 599,593 the previous year. Overall, therefore, more pupils qualify to join the post-primary institutions than the previous year. Division U (Ungraded) is awarded to candidates who have failed to reach the minimum level of performance that can be awarded at least a Division 4. Such candidates are advised to repeat.
