Following the release of the 2023 Uganda Certificate of Education (UCE) results, thousands of candidates who passed the national examinations are preparing to join Senior Five class. In this report, The Pearl Times details key dates for Senior Five students, the incoming class, according to the revised 2024 calendar.
After she released the 2023 UCE results, education minister and first lady Janet Museveni announced selection and reporting dates, setting the stage for students, parents and guardians to scramble for admission places in private and public secondary schools.
Janet Museveni said the selection exercise for Senior Five (S5) will happen from Monday-Tuesday, February 26-27, 2024.
First Term for the Senior Five (S5) class of 2024 will begin on Monday, March 11, 2024.
This means that the selection and reporting dates for Senior Five have been revised from the previously announced dates due to the delayed release of 2023 UCE results, according to the school calendar seen by The Pearl Times.
For other classes, except Senior Five (S5) and Senior One (S1), Term One (first term) began on Monday, February 05, 2024.
For all secondary and primary schools, first term will end on Friday May 03, 2024. This includes S5 students who will report in March, meaning they will study for only two months.
