129 out of 186 P7 candidates who sat for the Primary Leaving Examinations (PLE) 2020 at Kampala Parents School passed in Grade I with aggregates between 4 and 6.
Daphine Kato, the School Principal made this revelation Friday afternoon while receiving the results.
She attributed the success to E-learning.
“The situation was not so normal but we had to give our best. Online lessons helped a lot, because if we had not had them, we could have not had such results. I urge the Government to increase efforts and promote E-learning because we do not know when the pandemic will end. E-learning is very helpful and health because both teachers and the pupils stay in their respect homes,” Kato said, describing the performance as very good, “The results have been released; the general performance is very good, given the difficult time. To see our pupils performing like this is really wonderful, we thank God and the parents that really cooperated with us to get this kind of performance.”
