PLE Exams
As p7 candidates get set to seat for their examinations next week on Tuesday, schools have been warned on continued teaching.
Candidates have been briefed ahead of their examinations on Tuesday 30 and Wednesday 31 March.
The Uganda National Examinations Board-UNEB now says any school found teaching candidates between Friday and Monday will be considered to have done malpractice.
Dan Odongo, the executive secretary of UNEB issued the stern warning in a statement released today.
“Teaching or coaching of candidates after today’s briefing will also be regarded as a malpractice,” Odongo said.
He says teaching candidates last minute only serves to confuse them.
“Teachers are urged to desist from misleading the candidates with last-minute coaching as this will lead them to lose focus.”
