More girls than boys are today <\/span>expected to sit for Primary <\/span>Leaving Examinations (PLE) <\/span>at 14,778 centres across the <\/span>country.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to Uganda National Exam<\/span>inations Board (Uneb) statistics, girls <\/span>are 391,574 out of the total 749,371 <\/span>candidates registered for the two-day <\/span>national examination exercise while <\/span>boys are 357,797.<\/span><\/p>\n

The examinations are being conduct<\/span>ed under the theme: \u201cIntegrity and se<\/span>curity in the management of examina<\/span>tions is a joint responsibility.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Candidates start with Mathematics <\/span>paper in the morning and Social Stud<\/span>ies and Religious Education in the af<\/span>ternoon. Candidates will write Inte<\/span>grated Science paper tomorrow morn<\/span>ing and close with the English paper in<\/span>
the afternoon.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ms Jennifer Kalule, the Uneb spokes<\/span>person, said all examination materi<\/span>als were delivered to various police sta<\/span>tions where Uneb supervisors will col<\/span>lect them this morning.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe may have some challenges in <\/span>distributing the examination materi<\/span>als because of the bad weather. Every- <\/span>body is aware of the flooded Kampala-<\/span>Hoima Road. <\/span>Some centres in Serere District have <\/span>been flooded because of heavy rain. <\/span>Plans are underway to relocate the <\/span>candidates to other places,\u201d she said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Mr Paul Asiimwe, the head teacher of <\/span>Rwangara Primary School in Ntoroko <\/span>District, expressed concerns that his <\/span>school, which is serving as an exami<\/span>nation centre for four education insti<\/span>tutions, may be disrupted by floods.<\/span><\/p>\n


\u201cSome roads connecting to the school <\/span>are already flooded. This might af<\/span>fect the examination exercise,\u201d Mr Asi<\/span>imwe said.<\/span><\/p>\n
