The Uganda National Examinations Board (UNEB) on Friday released last year’s Primary Leaving Examinations (PLE) results.
The board’s Executive Secretary Daniel Odongo said there was a slight increase in the overall performance of pupils in the 2019 PLE, although boys outperformed girls.
Mr Odongo, said male candidates performed better than their female counterparts at the upper grades and with lower failure rates.
The Board registered 1,315 learners with special needs of various categories. The blind, the deaf, the physically handicapped and the dyslexics among others. Of these, 49.3% are females and 50.7% are males
