Other learners like Akatukunda Elis and Owamani Dorcus expressed that staff at Valley college had done their part best and so it is their turn (learners) to showcase their capabilities.

Nationwide, a total of 98,393 learners are scheduled to sit for their examinations from 2,339 examination centres across the country, according to UNEB statistics.

In a press statement from the Executive Secretary of Uganda National Examination Board (Uneb), Dan Odongo,  41.8 per cent (41,129) of the number of students are female while 58.2 per cent (57,264) are male.

Odongo noted a difference in a percentage trend of females and male learners sitting at this year’s UACE level as compared to the numbers at the primary level where female candidates surpassed their male counterparts.

According to Odongo, majority of learners slated to sit for UACE examinations are from private schools (Non-Upolet) with a total of 80,746 compared to those in Universal Secondary Education (Upolet) with a total of 17,647.

He says 200 candidates have special needs education (SNE) necessities and 55 require special support personnel such as transcribers and sign language interpreters.

“The board has made arrangements for all these SNE learners to access the necessary support. Like in the previous examinations, candidates with advanced pregnancies who may manifest with challenges, as well as breastfeeding mothers will be accorded an extra 45 minutes,” Mr Odongo said.

UACE exams which kicked off today  is slated to end on May 3.

Stakeholders have been wsrned against examination malpractice, a practice contrary to the new Uneb Act 2021 that calls for stringent punishment to anyone found guilty of breaching the laws within this Act.

According to the Uneb Act, sanctions for the offences under examinations malpractice have been increased from six months to five years imprisonment; or a fine of Shs5,000,000, or both.
