Kampala, Uganda | THE INDEPENDENT | The Uganda National Examinations Board (UNEB) has confirmed that this year’s exams for Primary and Secondary schools will be conducted in October, November and December – as was in the past.

Last year, exams were held March to mid-year due to the lock-down that affected the 2020 academic year. It had been expected that exams would again be held in May, as many candidates had been studying online since May last year, but UNEB announced at the resumption of school this year that it would go back to the old schedule of exams.

The board today released the key dates and activities prior to the final conduct of the 2022 Primary Leaving Exams (PLE), Uganda Certificate of Education (UCE) and the Uganda Advanced Certificate of Education (UACE).

The board has also maintained registration fees. Government will however pay for candidates in the Universal Primary Education (UPE), Universal Secondary Education (USE) and the Universal Post-O level Education and Training programs.
