The Uganda National Examinations Board is today expected to release the 2012 Primary Leaving Examinations which will offer successful candidates an opportunity to climb their education career ladder.
The release of the exams, which will take place at Statistics House in Kampala at 10am, is likely to remove anxiety among parents, pupils and school administrators who have anxiously been waiting for the exams for the last couple of weeks.
A total of 565,663 pupils registered to sit PLE last year, down from 535,933 in 2011.
For those who will not make it, they will defiantly have to repeat the class and sit with those currently in Primary Six this year or join some technical schools which admit candidates with more than Aggregate 28.
A Primary Seven candidate is deemed to have passed the exams if he or she garners between Aggregate 4-28.

Four years ago, Uneb introduced a system of accessing results by SMS and one is required to type PLE, leave space, fill in the candidate’s index number and send the message to 6600.
The Ministry of Education has already set January 30 and 31 as dates for selecting students joining Senior One.
Under the selection criteria, a candidate who misses their first choice of school, usually goes to the second, depending on his or her score.

Schools usually give priority to candidates who put them as their first option.
There was a collective sigh of relief inside the conference hall at Statistics House as the Minister of Education and Sports, Jessica Rose Alupo Epel finally announced the release of Primary Leaving Examinations (PLE) for 2013.
Relief, because, it was on the final day of January, which is quite unusual for the Uganda National Examinations Board which normally releases the results in the middle of January.
A fortnight ago, media reports had indicated that there would be a delay in the release of results owing to a break-down of equipment at the Uganda National Examinations Board.
Speaking to an equally eager press, Mathew Bukenya, the executive secretary of the Uganda National Examinations Board (UNEB) expressed his joy at having the results released within the month.
“We are happy that we have handed them over to you within the month of January as we normally do,” he said.
A total of 581,586 candidates sat for their PLE in November, 2013 from 11,506 centres across the country and 78.5% of the registered candidates were beneficiaries of the Universal Primary Education [UPE], while 21.5% were non-UPE.
According to the results, 85% of the candidates [494,839] passed the examinations with 9% [52,786] passing in Division one, followed by 42.5% [247,507] in second division, 21.5% [125,292] in third division, and 11.4% [68,554] in the fourth division.
Bukenya noted that these are the divisions whose score allow candidates to be admitted in post-primary institutions, meaning that 86,604 who were graded in Division U and X will have to re-sit for the examinations this year.
Bukenya said the performance of the 2013 candidates was comparable to that of 2012; however, it was better than that of 2011.
As expected, urban districts performed better than the rural districts.
According to the results, Fort Portal, Ntungamo, Mbarara, Kabarole, Entebbe, Kabale, Masaka, Jinja, Rukungiri and Gulu were the districts which performed best with the lowest failure rates ranging from 0% to 1.8%.
On the other hand, Kween with a failure rate of 34.6%, Bulambuli (30.3%), Bukwo (29.6%), Kaliro (28.1%), Luuka (27.3%), Iganga (26.7%), Buyende (25.5%), Bugiri (24.5%), Bududa (24.6%) and Namutumba (24.6%), all in from the East of the country were the worst performing districts.
Alupo said last year’s performance showed that the country is on the right track to realizing the millennium development goal of achieving Universal Primary Education.
She however noted that the government is still grappling with challenges in the sector and these are will be addressed by enhancing teachers’ capacity to deliver quality teaching and learning by training teachers in early grade literacy and numeracy, besides motivating them through increasing their salaries.
