Uganda, Jan. 27 -- A 14-year-old orphan from Karamoja Sub-region who scored aggregate 13 in 2022 Primary Leaving Examinations (PLE) but decided to resit the exams in 2023 in attempt to boost his performance after failing to raise school fees for secondary school has asked President Museveni and his wife, Janet Museveni who's the minister for Education to come to his rescue.

Mark Longora, a pupil in a remote school in Moroto District in the mineral-rich north-eastern restive sub-region got 14 aggregates in last year's PLE after resitting the exam when he failed to raise fees to join secondary school.

His mother, Natalina Opeko succumbed to hunger-related complications in 2016. His father, Luchona Muya too died three years later.
