FULL LIST: Here are the Best & Worst Performing Districts, Municipalities & Cities in 2022 PLE

The best-performing districts, municipalities and cities in the 2022 Primary Leaving Examinations (PLE) have been revealed. Municipalities continued to perform better than districts as the divide between urban and rural schools continues to widen. 

Most of the best performing schools are situated in urban centers while a huge chunk of those trailing are in villages (most of them under districts).

In the following analysis, we look at the number of first grades (Division One) per district or municipality. A high number of total grade ones does not necessarily put the district or municipality ahead of the pack.

This number of first grades is further seen as a percentage of the total number of registered candidates. Bushenyi Municipality and Kisoro Municipality are at the top in this classification. Over a half of the total number of registered candidates in these two municipalities passed in Division One (first grade).

Here is how districts, municipalities and cities performed as per the percentage of candidates who passed in Grade (Division) One:

	District/Municipality	Grade 1	Total Per District/Municipality	Percentage in Grade 1 (%)
