Jubilations and joy gated most private primary schools in Arua city as parents, teachers and pupils welcomed the results of 2024 Primary leaving Examinations.
The Uganda National Examination Board (UNEB) through ministry of education and sports on Thursday January 23, 2025 released its first batch of results of the 2024 national examinations, in preparation for the registration of fresher’s for secondary education.
A visit by Radio Pacis to some schools in Arua city on Thursday afternoon showed a decline in the performance of the 2024 PLE compared to the 2023 results.
At Oasis schools, out of the 50 candidates who sat at the main campus, 47 passed in first grade as Dradebo John Bosco the school administrator explained.
“Oasis main campus Abirichi that has 50 candidates, 47 passed in first grade, two in second grade, one in X, Oasis Obolokofuku annex has 49 children, 30 in first grade, then 19 in second grade, Golden brain Campus Koboko has given us 27 first grades out of 40 children,” Dradebo disclosed.
Gak Aweer Dout, one of the candidates of the school who obtained aggregate 6 attributed the success to her commitment to hard work.
“I’m really happy that I got aggregate 6 but this was not my expectation I thought I would get aggregate 5, I used to commit myself and revise hard, my parents and teachers used to tell me to work hard, I want to become a doctor,” Gak Aweer indicated.
While at Queens and Kings primary school out of the 64 candidates, 35 obtained division one. “We did well for the last year’s performance 2024, we had 64 candidates we managed to get 35 first grades and the rest in second grade, in fact we tried to decline a bit last year,” Omax Odong the head teacher of the school revealed.
Meanwhile at Ombaci satellite nursery and primary school 13 candidates out of 54 got division one with the best candidate obtaining aggregate 6.
“I had 54 candidates who sat, 13 passed in division one with best aggregate of 6 obtained by a girl, the result of 2023 was better but this year, the boys outperformed the girls,” Richard Aliku the head teacher of the schools explained.
But at Springs nursery and primary school 10 candidates obtained first grade, 93 in division two and one ungraded.
“In our 2024 PLE results 10 of our candidates who sat for the examination passed in first grade, 93 of them passed in second grade and we have one who got division U, I think these results didn’t come the way we had expected much this was the reflection we had in the mock,” the head teacher of the school Etoma Geoffrey said.
By press time, most government aided schools were yet to get their results.
