Uganda National Examinations Board (UNEB) has released the Timetable for the final examinations this year that will be done between October and December.
The UNEB road-map indicates that Senior four candidates will start on 14th October, Primary Seven candidates on 7th November, while Senior Six candidates will start on the 18th of November.
The Primary Leaving Examinations (PLE) are scheduled to start with a briefing on November 7. In contrast to previous years where students were granted a day or two after the briefing, primary seven candidates this time will begin the exam the next day and finish on November 9.
UNEB Executive Director Dan Odongo noted that with the timetables out, teachers should ensure that the necessary teaching and learning, as well as psych-social support is offered to candidates in the remaining time, for effective preparation.
Odongo also noted that unlike in previous years, the board has this time provided for the visually impaired students by providing brail and large print timetables. Odongo says this is done to ensure that this group of learners also get a chance to individually read the timetables.
More than 1.2 million candidates have registered for all the three levels of the final examinations this year.
