Division distributions and aggregate scores for Uganda Certificate of Education candidates, school by school, normalised for sitting size.
Termly tuition and boarding fees by curriculum, class level and residency, tracked across the index to surface real fee inflation over time.
The base register of indexed schools, name, curriculum, ownership, examination boards and district, with verification status flagged.
The trust anchor

Every figure on this page is an aggregate built from primary sources, UNEB published results, school-issued fee schedules, and the Praecip school index. We normalise for sitting size before comparing divisions, deduplicate against centre numbers, and exclude any school with fewer than ten candidates from results aggregates to avoid small-sample distortion.
Curriculum shares count each school once, against its headline framework, a Cambridge school that also enters UNEB candidates is counted as Cambridge, with its examination boards recorded separately. Fee figures are stated per term, in the currency the school quotes, and the index converts to UGX at the prevailing rate only for cross-curriculum comparisons.
