The Uganda National Examinations Board-UNEB is to reprint the original Primary Leaving Exam (PLE) result slips for approximately 3,972 learners from 51 schools in Kampala, whose initial copies were reportedly lost.
The missing PLE slips are for candidates who took their exams in 2019. Sources with knowledge of the matter, but preferred anonymity revealed that the slips were lost by the City Inspector of Schools under unclear circumstances.
“The issue has been a source of concern for a long time, but the authorities had previously given the inspector the benefit of the doubt in the hope that the slips would be found.
Initially, there was a suspicion that the slips may have been delivered to the wrong school, but this theory has since been ruled out, and the whereabouts of the slips remain unknown,” the source noted.
According to UNEB, the slips, along with others for schools in Kampala, were distributed as per the required procedure.
