Odongo said that the timetable for the NLSC has 36 subjects compared to the 46 subjects of the old curriculum, adding that it focuses on the End of Cycle (EoC) assessment conducted by UNEB, which will contribute 80% of the overall achievement by each learner. The other 20% is comprised of the Continuous Assessment (CA) carried out at school for every learner.

UNEB has registered four examinations (4Es), which are the Primary Leaving Examination (PLE), Uganda Certificate of Education (UCE-New Curriculum), UCE-Transitional Examination (Old Curriculum), and Uganda Advanced Certificate of Education (UACE).
