The Uganda National Examinations Board (UNEB) is due to release the UACE (Senior Six) results for 2016 on Tuesday.
This will be at the Office of the Prime Minister building in Kampala at 11am.
About 104,361 students registered for the A-Level final examinations last year.
On Monday, TheUgandan was told that UNEB’s board chairman Prof Mary Okwakol will hand over the results to the First Lady and minister of Education, Ms Janet Museveni, who will release them to the public.
The release of the A-Level results comes three weeks after those of O-Level were made public. The function to release examinations is open to invited guests and the media only. Head teachers will be expected to pick their schools’ results forms and slips later in the day from the headquarters of UNEB or accessed through SMS. Type UACE, leave space, type candidate’s index number and send to 6600.
While at it, note that, according to Mr Dan Odongo, the Uneb executive secretary, results of students who have not cleared their school fees will not be available on the SMS platform until they have settled their dues.
