UNEB Issues A  New Circular On UCE Transition.

In 2023 a total of 180,471 male and 183,998 female candidates were registered and the candidates sat from 3,808 examination centres. Hover Over 1,400 Candidates Ordered to Repeat the Uganda National Examinations for the award of Uganda Certificate of Education.These students were supposed to conduct the UCE transition Examination under the old curriculum originally proposed for June/July 2024.

Now the Minister of Education and Sports and the First Lady of Uganda Hon. Janet Kataha Museveni has advised that the period between June and July is too short for the repeaters to prepare and sit for the examination.

The minister now decided that the transition examination based on the old curriculum will be conducted at the same time as the 2024 UCE examination based on the New Curriculum that is from October to November 2024 and the registration process will also run alongside the normal registration for this year at a date that will be communicated.

In a circular released today, the minister noted that learners who had previously registered and sat under the Universal Secondary Education (USE) Schools may not have the resources to pay for the Examination and now the Government is going to take full responsibility and pay for them but should register from the USE schools close to them.

The circular further states that, the UCE examination under the old curriculum will not be conducted in June/July as had been originally stated and the sitting centres will also not be as earlier projected.

The repeaters are now to register themselves in USE schools where they studied previously but are also given the option of registering at centers of their convenience.

The existing or functional examination halls will also register candidates as well as the private schools that will have repeaters wishing to sit for the examination.
