Charging Fees Not Prescribed by UNEB According to Section 33 of the UNEB Act, Cap 259, it is an offence to charge fees not prescribed by UNEB and refer to them as “UNEB fees.” Heads of Centres and School Directors are therefore cautioned against presenting any additional administrative costs as UNEB fees. Such an offence attracts a penalty of: A fine of two thousand currency points (equivalent to Forty Million Shillings), Or imprisonment for a term not exceeding ten years, Or both. Additionally, any person convicted shall be required to refund all unauthorized charges to the affected students or their sponsors. The Board will also withdraw the school’s examination centre status. Furthermore, where the convicted person is a registered teacher, they shall be deregistered in accordance with the relevant laws governing the teaching profession. Parents or members of the public who are charged exorbitant fees falsely presented as UNEB registration fees are encouraged to report such cases to the nearest police station.

UNEB Guidelines on Registration fees for Candidates.

Candidates with Foreign Results All candidates with foreign academic results must have their results equated by the Uganda National Examinations Board (UNEB) before registration. Upon completion of the equating process, candidates will be issued a unique code that will enable them to register electronically. This requirement also applies to: - Adult candidates; and - Candidates who have been legally authorised to use changed names. Amendment of Candidate Data Examination centres are allowed to make corrections to already registered and submitted candidate information, including: - Gender; and - Date of birth, free of charge up to the end of the normal registration period. Any amendments made after the normal registration deadline shall attract a fee of UGX 50,000 per amendment.

Checking Candidates’ Registration Status via SMS The Uganda National Examinations Board (UNEB) has introduced an SMS service that enables candidates, parents, and guardians to verify the registration status of candidates. To check a candidate’s registration status, users should send the candidate’s full index number via SMS to 6600. UNEB encourages parents and guardians to take an active interest in the registration process and to verify the accuracy of all information submitted on behalf of their children. The Board further reminds learners, parents, and Heads of Examination Centres that the use of erasable pens is strictly prohibited in all UNEB examinations.

Registration Requirements for the UCE Examination This year’s candidates are the third cohort of learners registering under the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC). Under the CBC, candidates are required to register for: - A minimum of eight (8) subjects, and - A maximum of nine (9) subjects. Continuous Assessment (CA) scores for all subjects offered, as well as project scores, shall be mandatory requirements for certification. Only candidates who sat for #PLE in 2022 or earlier shall be eligible to register for UCE 2026. Such candidates must have: - Passed PLE with Division 1, 2, 3, or 4 (or its equivalent), and - Completed four years of Lower Secondary Education. Continuous Assessment (CA) Candidates who submitted Continuous Assessment (CA) scores for all subjects, together with S.3 project scores to UNEB, qualify for UCE 2026 registration. Candidates whose CA scores have already been submitted to UNEB are advised not to change their names or optional subjects during S.4 registration. #UCE Repeaters Candidates repeating UCE examinations must have complete S.3 and S.4 Continuous Assessment scores for all subjects taken, including project work.

We are at a crucial stage where the education sector is implementing an important curriculum transition at different levels. The reappointment of Hon. @JanetMuseveni and the two Ministers of State for Education will ensure continuity, stability, and effective implementation of these reforms.

ED DAN ODONGO The Government will continue to pay registration fees for all candidates sponsored under the following programmes: - Universal Primary Education (UPE) - Universal Secondary Education (USE) - Universal Post O-Level Education and Training (UPOLET) Heads of examination centres are advised to ensure that registration data for all eligible candidates is submitted within the normal registration period. For privately sponsored candidates, the registration fees remain as follows: - PLE – UGX 34,000 - UCE – UGX 164,000 - UACE – UGX 186,000

The registration of candidates for the 2026 national examinations is currently underway for the Primary Leaving Examination (PLE), Uganda Certificate of Education (UCE), and Uganda Advanced Certificate of Education (UACE). Normal registration has been extended to 30th June 2026 to accommodate newly accredited examination centres. Late registration will commence on 1st July 2026 and close on 31st July 2026. This will attract a surcharge of: - 100% for PLE candidates - 50% for UCE and UACE candidates There will be no further registration of candidates after 31st July 2026. Examination centres are urged to complete the registration process early within the stipulated period to avoid the congestion that usually occurs towards the deadline. @Educ_SportsUg @GovUganda
