The Uganda National Examinations Board (UNEB) has granted candidates an extra 15 minutes to complete the History and Political Education paper in the current 2026 Uganda Certificate of Education (UCE) examinations. This adjustment was communicated via a circular sent to secondary school head teachers across Uganda. UNEB instructed schools to promptly inform both invigilators and students about the extended time. The decision aims to accommodate students during the ongoing UCE examinations. Further details regarding the reason for the extension were not immediately available. The information was initially published by The Observer Media Ltd.
