The last phase of the late registration attracts a surcharge of 100 percent of the original set fees and that is to say 34,000/= for PLE, 164,000= for UCE and 186,000= for UACE.
This means that parents and guardians of the affected learners are paying twice the amount..
The board also advises heads of centres to to allow learners to check and correct their data that has been uploaded such as the correct spellings of the names,the date of birth, the gender attached to their names, their schools of choice before submissions to avoid inconveniences.
Kalule on the other hand noted that ammendments made by July 31st will be free of charge and should be informed to the board.
UNEB further upholds that any more amendments made past 31st July will be charged and fully paid.
“Beyond 31st July teachers have also been informed that no candidate will be allowed to be registered to sit for the upcoming examinations.” UNEB said.
