Nursery, Primary and Secondary schools.
The MoES regulates more than 30,000 nurseries, and primary and secondary institutions spread throughout Uganda. At the elementary level, more than 59 percent of the more than 20,000 schools
in 2017 are government-owned and -supported. The remainder are private, administered by religious bodies, both Christian and Muslim, entrepreneurs and investors, or local communities, among others.
School education in Uganda consists of three levels of varying length: seven years of elementary, four years of lower secondary, and two years of upper secondary education. Upon successful completion
of the seventh year of education, and the passing of the Primary Leaving Examination (PLE), students are awarded the Primary School Leaving Certificate.
The secondary education cycle in Uganda lasts six years and consists of the eighth through 13th years of study, or Senior 1 (S1) through Senior 6 (S6). The cycle is split into two levels: lower secondary,
which lasts for four years and is awarded a Uganda Certificate of Education, and upper secondary, which lasts for two and is awarded a Uganda Advanced Certificate of Education. Owing to the system’s British roots, these two levels are also known as the Ordinary and Advanced Levels, respectively.
