Dr. Denis Mugimba, the Ministry of Education spokesperson, says the process of selection for Senior one and five learners will start on Monday next week.

The selection targets learners who sat for Primary Leaving Education (PLE ) and Uganda Certificate of Education (UCE) last year. The students received results between August and September 2021.

“The selection that will lead to admission into Senior One and Senior Five will go on. But, we are still looking for better ways through which the other institution will be handling the matter,” he said,

Dr Mugimba, says the exercise will take place from October 25 to 29 covering an entire week, and will be hosted at Kololo ceremonial grounds.

According to the data from the Ministry of Education, there are over 200,000 schools, mostly public, that will participate in this year’s selection.
