UNEB RESULTS 2018: 4 Ways to Know How One Scored

Every end of year, students at 3 levels of the Ugandan Education System sit for formal tests of knowledge or proficiency in different subjects. Conducted by the Uganda National Examinations Board (UNEB), these levels are Primary Leaving Examinations (PLE), Uganda Certificate of Education (UCE) and Uganda Advanced Certificate of Education (UACE).

After a making exercise conducted at different centers by officers known as Examiners, the Minister of Education officially releases the results at the beginning of the following year. The period preceding the release of results is characterized by anxiety as teachers, students and parents impatiently wait for the results. This anxiety is heightened by the critics who are eager to weigh in on the flaws in the education system but giving little or no solutions to these flaws.

Back in the days, when results were released, students would wait for their schools to pick the results from UNEB and then they would in turn physically pick them up from their school. In some cases, the results would be displayed on a notice board for you to peruse through before going to the concerned office. But not anymore; the digital trend has helped improve this in that one can find out how he/she performed in the comfort of their home  or even when abroad.
