One of the best schools in Kampala, Kabojja Junior School has joined the band wagon of big schools that were not satisfied with the way they performed in the recently released PLE results.
It's Head Master Mr. Richard Okiror said that this year's performance is the worst that the school has recorded in the past 20 years!. That's a big number and it really justifies what the parents of last year's candidates are doing.

Different parents of the school have petitioned UNEB to remark their children's scripts and the school itself has handed in a petition which the Executive Secretary of UNEB , Dan N Odong acknowledged receiving although he has not read through it yet.
Kabojja this year posted no aggregate 4, three with aggregate 5 and majority between 8 and 12 making it a total of 198 candidates in division 1 and the balance in division 2.
Other big Kampala schools like Greenhill Academy are also in the process of engaging UNEB about the remarking process because they can't simply accept the results that are below their standards.
This unrest all started when some concerned citizens took to social media to describe the worrying trend that was be falling top Kampala schools in the past three years. People claimed that UNEB was under-marking these schools since they were overpassing and rumours were suggesting that a distinction one in these schools was at 90% while this same distinction was at 75% in rural area schools or even recently started Kampala schools.
But the Executive Secretary of UNEB has denied the allegations saying they are baseless.
