Bishop to PLE candidates: Focus on exams, not love letters

The Anglican Bishop of Lango Diocese, Dr Alfred Olwa, has advised Primary Leaving Examinations (PLE) candidates to destroy any love letters they may have, urging them to prioritise their studies and avoid distractions.

"Your parents sent you to school to study, not to fall in love," Bishop Olwa said during a dedication ceremony for PLE candidates at Mantle Day and Boarding Primary School in Lira City. "Tear those love letters. You weren't sent here to fall in love, but to study."

With exams scheduled for November 6 and 7, 2024, Bishop Olwa cautioned candidates against distractions, including relationships and theft.

"Some of you come to school not only to study but also to steal. Don't repeat it. If you have ever stolen anything in life, I will pray for you today, but don't do it again," he said.

He also encouraged candidates to be prayerful to overcome examination anxiety.
