The trust anchor

Methodology & sources.

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.

  • Refresh cadence. Results series update annually as UNEB releases; the directory and fee index refresh quarterly.
  • Verification. A profile is marked verified only after a school confirms its core attributes; unverified rows are flagged, never hidden.
  • Caveats. Coverage is densest in central and urban districts; rural completeness is improving but uneven. Treat district totals as lower bounds.
