Senior Six students across the country are set to commence their Uganda Advanced Certificate of Education (UACE) examinations today, with a call to desist from cheating.
“We still warn schools against the involvement in malpractice in the examination and to guard against people who sell what they purport to be examination questions,” reads part of the statement signed by Daniel Odongo.
The 99,672 students are expected to write their exams at 2,217 centers.
According to Dan Odongo, the Uganda National Examinations Board executive secretary, this year, the number of students declined from last year’s 102,007 who participated in UACE.
There are over 800 scouts deployed to monitor this exercise. Male students outnumber their female counterparts – 58,359 to 41,313 female students.
On Monday morning, Sciences students begin with Mathematics Paper One while Arts students start with European History/History World Affairs at 9:00.
In the afternoon, the candidates will sit Mathematics paper Two and East African History.
Examinations will end on December 4.
