The Uganda National Examinations Board-UNEB has issued a final call for students wishing to register for this year’s examinations across different levels.
In a statement to the press issued on Wednesday, Jennifer Kalule, UNEB’s spokesperson, emphasized that parents, schools, and candidates have until June 21st, 2024 to complete this registration. Those registering after this deadline will be subject to double the registration fees.
This year, UNEB is overseeing four examinations, including the Primary Leaving Examination (PLE), Uganda Advance Certificate of Education (UACE) and Uganda Certificate of Education (UCE), which includes candidates sitting under both the new lower secondary curriculum and a one-off transitional examination.
Normal registration fees are set at 34,000 shillings for PLE, 164,000 shillings for UCE, and 186,000 shillings for Uganda Advanced Certificate of Education (UACE).
Late registration for PLE will incur a 100 percent surcharge, while UCE and UACE candidates will face a 50 percent surcharge.
Kalule added that the window for late registration period with these additional charges will also close on July 31, 2024.
As of Wednesday morning, UNEB had registered a total of 1,309,852 candidates for all four examinations, including those under the transitional examination. Among the registered candidates, 51 percent are females and 49 percent are males.
