This came after the results were officially released and announced today by the Minister of Education and Sports Mama Janet K Museveni.

Enanga said schools are advised to postpone the celebrations to some other time and if they violet SOPs charges and penalities will be imposed on them.
“Therefore, all Headteachers are advised to either postpone the school celebrations to some future time when schools are reopened or hold a virtual celebration instead. RememberRemember there are harsh consequences in form of fines, penalties and punishments for COVID-19 offenders,”
It should be noted that PLE results have been released in the second wave of Covid19 lockdown.
