UCE Exams Start Now

By
Good news for students in Uganda! The big 2025 Examinations have officially begun.
It all kicked off with a meeting, called a briefing, for students taking the Uganda Certificate of Education (UCE). These students are the first ones to start the examination period.
What Happened at the Briefing?
Students met with their HeadTeachers (school principals) who explained everything about the exams. They went over the rules and instructions in the official timetable. This is to make sure everyone knows how to act and what to expect when they sit for their tests.
The exams will take place at 4,308 Centers across the country, so many schools are involved!
The Exam Theme
The board in charge of the exams is using the same theme as last year. It is: “Embracing security and holistic assessment of learners in a dynamic environment."
This means they want to keep the exams safe and fair for everyone. They also want to make sure the exams look at the whole student—not just one part of what they learned—even as things in the world keep changing.
UCE candidates are now ready to sit their papers. Good luck to all the students!

UNEB Clarifies: No "Mock Exams," Just "Pre-Tests".

Kampala, Uganda – The Uganda National Examinations Board (UNEB) wants to make something clear. They are not going to start setting "mock examinations" for schools, even though some news reports said they would. UNEB says that a recent news story incorrectly used the words "pre-tests" and "mock exams" as if they were the same thing. The truth is that UNEB is currently carrying out "pre-tests" in some selected schools. These pre-tests are part of UNEB's effort to make sure the questions and tasks used for the new Competency-Based Assessment are of good quality. So, while UNEB is indeed doing some testing in schools, it's for quality checks of their new assessment methods, not for setting practice "mock exams" that students would take.
