As the parents are eagerly waiting to receive their children’s Primary Leaving Examinations (PLE) which are about to be released by the Uganda National Examinations Board (UNEB) and the Ministry of Education and Sports today, they have been given a forewarning about schools which give out fake UNEB results as an advertisement tactic.
The warning has been sounded by Mukono Resident District Commissioner (RDC) Hajat Fatuma Ndisaba Nabitaka and the District Education Officer (DEO) Rashid Kikomeko.
Ndisaba decried crafty school managers who feed parents and the public with wrongful and misleading UNEB results with the aim of luring more learners to their schools, and advised parents to apply available online applications to access their children’s performance, to avoid cheating school heads.
Kikomeko said it is illegal and punishable by law for any school manager to feed a parent or the general public with wrong information in regards to the particular school’s performance as far as the PLE results are concerned.
The officials’ call comes at a time when in recent years, some of the students failed to sit for their Senior Four final exams just because they were fed with wrong PLE results which would not enable them to sit for their final exams.
A total of 817,885 candidates sat for the 3rd and 4th November 2025 PLE in 16,140 schools countrywide, with 428,356 of them girls and 389,529 of them boys.
Of these, 522,039 who constitute 65%, and under government sponsorship in UPE schools and the rest numbering 295,846 who constitute 36%, sat the examinations in privately owned schools. The number of 2025 candidates surpassed the 2024 figure by 797,444.
