The registration process, according to UNEB, is expected to run for five weeks, with no room for late registration, adding that fees have been maintained at Shs34000 for PLE, Shs164000 for UCE and 186000 for UACE hence warning schools against inflating the same.
“We strongly urge head-teachers not to inflate the registration fees, claiming they are UNEB registration fees. Any additional charges that the school would like to make for administrative purposes should clearly be explained to the parents, and MUST NOT, in any way, be referred to as ‘UNEB fees/Registration fees, ” Dan Odongo, the UNEB executive secretary, said.
He added, “For candidates under the government programs of Universal Primary Education (UPE), Universal Secondary Education (USE), and Universal Post ‘O’ Level Education and Training (UPOLET), the government will pay the fees.”
