Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>At least 97,109 candidates failed 2022 Primary Leaving Examinations (PLE), although the general performance was better as compared to candidates who sat for the 2020 examinations.<\/p>\n

Releasing the results at the State Lodge in Nakasero, Kampala, the executive director of Uganda National Examination Board (UNEB) Mr Daniel Odong said that a total of 811,810 sat for the examinations out of the 832,654 who registered.<\/p>\n

Out of those who sat 114,617 passed in first grade, 357,799 passed in grade two, 146,583 in third grade and 95,702 passed in fourth grade while 97,109 were not graded.<\/p>\n

This means that a total of 714,702 out of 811,810 who sat for the universal examinations have passed the examinations and can proceed to post primary education, according to UNEB.<\/p>\n

Mr Odong, however, said those who were not graded (97,109) should repeat primary seven since they have not been graded.<\/p>\n

Odongo reported that more pupils qualified to join the post primary institutions than previous years.<\/p>\n
