The First Lady said that the selection of senior one students will begin on February 19, 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to UNEB, a total of 749,254 candidates from 15,859 centers (schools) registered for PLE in 2023 compared to 832,654 in 2022. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Of this number, 501,602 (66.9%) from 11,365 centers were Universal Primary Education (UPE) beneficiaries, and 247,652 (33.1) of the candidates were Non UPE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Results of candidates involved in examination malpractice will be withheld, pending investigations and fair hearings by the Board’s tribunal; outcomes will be publicly disclosed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Uganda National Examinations Board (UNEB) announced Thursday that the number of candidates who scored in Divisions One and Two in the 2023 Primary Leaving Examinations (PLE) has seen a slight decrease compared to the previous year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, UNEB Executive Director Daniel Odong highlighted a positive trend, noting an increase in the number of candidates achieving Division 3 and above compared to 2022 results. Overall, Mr. Odong reported that the pass rate remains consistent with last year, at 88.0%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cA higher proportion of the 2023 candidates passed in Division 3 and above level. Overall, the performance of candidates is comparable to that of 2022,\u201d Mr Odogo said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The examination body also registered a decline in the number of ungraded candidates in the 2023 PLE results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDivision 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 They are not eligible for admission to the Senior 1 class. It should be noted that the number of candidates in Division U is quite high, at 88,269 (10.4%) and should raise concern so that they do not just add to the statistics of school drop-outs,\u201d he said on Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
