PLE papers delivered late in Mityana, Mubende

Pupils waiting to sit for their Primary leaving examinations in various primary schools in Mityana and Mubende district were on Wednesday stranded for hours as they waited for the papers but in vain.

In some of the schools visited in Mityana Municipality, pupils wrote PLE paper between 9.30am and 10.30am.

In schools far away from town, the papers started beyond 10am.

By 9.30am, invigilators at St Noah Kiyinda Primary School were still waiting but the pupils had already entered the examination rooms.

In Mubende district, most affected were Sub Counties like Madudu, Butoloogo, and Kitumbi where papers started beyond 9 am.

At Kamusenene P/S in Kitumbi Sub County, the first paper was delivered late and started at 10.45 am.

Mastula Nambatya, the secreatary for Education at the Mityana district council said she had learnt about the late delivery and inquired from the education officials who had no clear explanation why.

"I have asked the Inspector of schools and others concerned and they are saying that the papers were brought to Mityana in the morning and this is why they have started late," Nambatya said.
