UNEB Spokesperson Jennifer Kalule had earlier this week told the media that they had written to Janet Museveni, requesting an appointment for a briefing before releasing the results.
The Board is supposed to brief the Minister of Education about the performance of learners before the results are released to the public. After the results are released, the selection exercise will then commence.
The Senior One selection exercise is usually conducted at the premises of the Uganda Manufacturers Association (UMA) in Lugogo, Kampala, where headteachers select candidates for their respective schools depending on the set cut-off points.
A total of 749,347 pupils sat for PLE in 2023, including 391,558 females and 357,789 males.
