KAMPALA – The education ministry has announced the new dates for the briefing about and eventual release of the 2023 Primary Leaving Examinations (PLE) results.
The ministry had earlier slated January 17 and 18, 2024 as the days for the briefing and release of PLE results, respectively, but rescheduled due to the Non-Aligned Movement Summit that is ongoing.
Now, according to a new memo released by the office of the Minister of Education and Sports, a briefing by UNEB [Uganda National Examinations Board] on the PLE results for the year 2023 will be on Wednesday, January 24, 2024.
The release of the results will follow suit the following day, Thursday, January 25, 2024. Both events are expected to be held at the State House Nakasero in Kampala.
The memo signed by Irene Kauma, the undersecretary/Senior Private Secretary to the First Lady of Uganda, says both events will be at 11:00 am.
