There is panic among teachers, parents and candidates of St. Christine Primary school in Kakumiro district after they have all failed to access the Primary Leaving Examinations results for 2022 that were released yesterday.
Candidates, parents, and other interested parties can use the Short Message Services on mobile telecom networks to check for the results.

Andrew Mugisa, Ms Doreen Karungi and Sylvia Atuhirwe like their colleagues say they tried checking for their results with details availed by UNEB, but they since failed. Andrew, Doreen and Sylvia speaking……
Mdm. Teopista Namayanja, the headteacher Mpasana Primary school, the PLE UNEB center where the candidates sat for their exams, said she tried to access the results for both St. Christine and Mpasaana primary schools in vain. END
