Exams for the Uganda Certificate of Education (UCE) have began this morning with a sense of routine, a far cry from the previous two cycles that were marred by disruptions due to COVID-19 limitations and the Ebola outbreak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Exam papers were supplied on time to both main and sub-stations, according to Jennifer Kalule, a spokesman for the Uganda National Examinations Board (UNEB). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
She claimed that during the past two days, the distributor meticulously completed the job using 25 different routes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Around 8:00 p.m. on Sunday, the examination papers and other related materials were sent to their respective centres in Kampala’s busy storage centres, which are primarily located within police stations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even though there were early worries that the exams would be disrupted by morning rain, the weather cleared up before 7:00 a.m., thus everything went according to plan. By 6:30 a.m., scouts and other authorities were ready at the storage locations, and at 7:30 a.m., a critical briefing conference was held.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The containers weren’t opened until 8:30 a.m., as per the requirements. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Regarding their team’s early arrival, the top scout at the Nabweru police station made the following statement: “We came early today; the first day is always complicated. We gave the scouts a briefing to promote familiarity and quickly resolve any possible problems.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meanwhile, as the UCE exams begin, the Uganda National Examinations Board (UNEB) has warned applicants and schools alike once more strongly not to participate in any form of misconduct. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to Kalule, they make a point of stressing that any wrongdoing could lead to the cancellation of their exam results and could result in criminal prosecution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Geography Paper One, a necessary topic for all enrolled applicants, was the first exam the candidates took in the morning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
They will take Geography Paper Two in the evening. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
