KAMPALA - Results for last year's Uganda Certificate of Education (UCE) examinations will be released on Tuesday February 03, according to Maj. (Rtd) Jessica Alupo, the Minister of Education and Sports.

In an interview with New Vision, Alupo said she would release the results at 10:00 am local time (EAT) at the Office of the Prime Minister (OPM) in Kampala.

Last year's UCE examinations began on Friday October 09 2014 and ended on Monday November 18.

The examinations done in 3,006 centres across the country began with Geography Paper one, a mandatory paper and ended with Technical Drawing, an optional paper.

Candidature for UCE increased last year, with the number of candidates shooting up to 309,899 from 288,738 in the previous year.

The marking of the exams was completed mid-December last year. Unlike in 2013, the Uganda National Examinations Board (UNEB), the national assessment body did not suffered setbacks last year.

Results for last year's UCE examinations are expected to be accurate.

 Alupo said government made an extra effort to avert malpractice during the exams.

For last year's UCE, UNEB deployed thousands of scouts, most of whom were security officers.

Alupo advised parents to prepare to take their children back to school since the period between release of senior four results and the date for reporting to senior five is usually short.
