They clapped, shouted and were excited as they hugged. They had not won anything, but had successfully completed a critical stage in their education career. This was the mood in schools Children’s Vision visited moments after the Primary Leaving Examinations were complete.

Hilda Kemigisha 14, Kiswa Primary wants to go to Bweranyange Girls.
Exams were not bad. SST was not difficult although the questions were tricky. They were not direct. I feel great because I am going to secondary to join my friends and cousins.
Joram Ndaga, 13 Shimoni Demonstration School
The exams were fair. The papers contained what we had covered with our teachers. There were no mistakes in the question papers like it is usually the case. I will spend the holiday in the village.
Loy Kobusingye, 13, Green Hill Academy, loves SST
Science was hard because the questions were confusing. But generally, exams were fair. I am so happy becaue I have stopped being stressed. Now I can play everyday, visit friends and help my mum with housework. I expect things to be harder in secondary where I have to learn how to read on my own without teachers forcing me. I want to go to Nabisunsa.
Ancel Bagombeka, 13, Green Hill Academy, wants to got to Buddo.
Papers were fair but English was hard. I basically have problems with English. We were asked to write a story and it was difficult to write the body. But since I have finished, I can at least relax from the daily morning revision. However, during vacation, I will help my dad with office work.
Hussein Ssebunya, 11, Buganda Road Primary School
The exams were very fair I prayed to God in preparation for the exams. They were like the normal exams we do in class. SST was the easiest but maths was very hard. I will spend time swimming and playing football during the long holiday.
Andrew Kaggwa 13, St Kizito Primary, Bugolobi. Well, I cannot really say that the exams were hard or easy. My problem though was SST. They brought things that we studied in P.5 and we had forgotten. We had concentrated on the P.7 syllabus. Can you imagine teaching us for the whole year and only one number is asked? Otherwise I feel great because I completed primary. Am looking forward to making new friends in secondary. I will be watching TV.
Olive Amon, 13, St. Kizito Primary Bugolobi
Papers were fair but SST was a bit hard. They brought numbers that I thought would not come. Most of them were from P.4 - P.5. I am excited to join secondary school. But in the meantime, I will be helping my parents with housework and visiting friends during vacation.
Cecilia Nyiratiro, 14, Shimoni Demonstration School
The exams were fair although Maths was hard especially Section B. I will travel to Kenya to visit my aunt and cousins. I prepared for the exams by reading hard and revising.
Davis Othieno, 11, St Kizito Primary Bugolobi
Exams were neither too hard nor too easy. I would probably say English was the hardest because of the jumbled story. It was so difficult to compose a story out of it. Now that I have finished the exams, I feel relieved. At first I was scared of PLE but it later felt like any other exam. I will be visiting friends, riding my bike, watching TV and also read a bit to prepare for secondary.
