The Uganda National Examinations Board, UNEB has issued another set of guidelines to register senior four students under the old curriculum.
Previously, the Board had designated June/July as the period for candidates to sit for UCE under the old curriculum, but in the latest circular released on Tuesday, February 27th, the Board has extended the period up to October/November 2024.
“Following the Board’s engagement with District Education Officers (DEOs), the Board made further consultations on the modalities for conducting the UCE transition examination under the old curriculum, originally proposed for June/July 2024,” said Dr. Dan Odongo, the UNEB Executive Secretary.
Odongo said the Minister for Education and Sports, Janet Museveni, has now advised that the period between June and July is too short for the repeaters to prepare and then sit for the examination.
“Based on the guidelines, the UCE transition examinations under the old curriculum will not be conducted in June or July. The sitting centers will also not be as earlier projected. The affected persons will be required to register themselves at the schools where they studied previously or at those convenient to them. The functional examination halls will also register candidates, as well as private schools that will have repeaters wishing to sit for the examinations,” reads the circular.
According to the circular, the time and registration for transition examinations based on the old curriculum will be conducted at the same time as the 2024 examinations based on the new curriculum from October to November, and the registration will also run alongside the normal registration for this year.
In Lira, Mentor Secondary School, a leading performing private learning institution has also announced existence of vacancies for Senior four students under the old curriculum.
