UNEB to re-print 3,000 lost PLE result slips

The Uganda National Examination Board -UNEB has resolved to re-print the lost result slips of 3,972 students who sat for the 2019 Primary Leaving Examination (PLE).

This follows pressure that mounted Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) from parents after failing to produce the result slips to have their children registered for Uganda Certificate of Education (UCE) slated to be undertaken in October this year.

The PLE result slip is one of the requirements needed to enable a student register for UCE examinations. Registration is underway across the country.

While addressing journalists at the Uganda Media Center in Kampala on Thursday, the UNEB Director of Examination Mike Masikye Nangosya says the lost result slips are from 51 schools in Kampala and these were printed the board, signed and taken by a designated KCCA officer as it has always been.

He says that due to urgent need of the result slips, they have blocked the serial numbers of lost result slips so that the new ones may be printed and avoid people with bad intentions to use them for illegal purposes as investigations are undergoing.

Nangosya says investigations are based on the motive of losing the result slips and discovering the exact place they were delivered before they got lost.

A group of parents with about 200 affected pupils from Greenhill Academy, Kibuli, through Lex Uganda Advocates and Solicitors have since petitioned Uneb and KCCA, demanding the former to reprint pass slips of all the affected students in 14 days from April 14 when the notice was issued.

KCCA is expected to pay more than Shs200m to have these results slips replaced for all the affected students if they own up. Replacement of each slip is Shs50,000.
