KAMPALA | LIFESTYLE UGANDA — Results of the 2020 Primary leaving Examinations (PLE) were released on Friday by the Uganda National Examination Board (UNEB) and the Ministry of Education, indicating an improvement in candidates’ performance compared to last year.

In its announcement of the results, Uganda National Examination Board (UNEB) said that more than 2000 candidates’ results have been withheld because of suspected examination irregularities.

Rwenzori region districts, especially Bundibugyo and Kasese, have the highest number of withheld PLE results.

Board executive secretary Dan Odongo said during the official release of the 2020 PLE results: “Schools withheld results will be notified through their District Inspectors of Schools, and all candidates withheld results will be given a fair hearing by the Board’s Examination Security Committee.”

”All schools whose results are withheld will be notified through their District Inspectors, and the Board’s Examination Security Committee will conduct a fair hearing for all candidates with withheld results,” executive secretary Dan Odongo said during the official release of the 2020 PLE results.

Once the hearings are over, the Board will take a public position in the media informing the public which schools and districts have their results cancelled.
