KAMPALA - The Uganda National Examinations Board (UNEB) is due to release the UACE (Senior Six) results for 2012 on Tuesday.

This will be at Statistics House in Kampala.

On Monday, the Media Centre announced that UNEB’s board chairman Fagil Mandy will hand over the results to the education minister, Jessica Alupo, who will release them to the public.

About 103,000 students sat for the A-Level final examinations last year.

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.

Boys performed better than girls in the UCE exams although UNEB’s Mandy cited love affairs among students as one key contributing factor to the decline in students’ performance.
