The number of candidates who register
to take the Primary Leaving Examinations (PLE) and fail to turn up on
examination day has gone down in Mbale District.
Mbale District
Education Officer, Lydia Musugu says that following the release of the 2024
Primary Leaving Examinations (PLE), they have observed that 52 candidates
missed the examinations in 2024 compared to 72 candidates who missed in 2023.
Musungu attributes the reduction to sensitization by the political, cultural
and religious leaders about the need for children to complete the education
cycle.
Mbale District LCV
Chairperson Muhammad Mafabi urged leaders at various levels to continue
sensitizing parents about the significance of education.
Sarah Mandu, a parent
from Busano sub-county, wants the government to impose penalties on parents who
facilitate their children’s school dropouts.
Out of 4895
candidates who sat for the Primary Leaving Examinations in 2024 in Mbale
District, 157 passed in Division one.
