UNEB Issues Stern Warning as UACE Examinations Begin

As candidates across the country sit down for the Uganda Advanced Certificate of Education (UACE) examinations, education authorities have drawn a hard line against cheating and academic dishonesty. The Uganda National Examinations Board (UNEB) has cautioned all school administrators, teachers, and students to steer clear of illicit practices aimed at boosting grades.

UNEB officials emphasized that security measures have been tightened nationwide to monitor the distribution of exam papers and the conduct of invigilators. Schools caught red-handed aiding or abetting malpractice face severe penalties, including the cancellation of results and the suspension of their examination center status.

The exams mark the culmination of two years of advanced-level secondary education for thousands of students. While the vast majority of learners and institutions prepare diligently, the board noted that heightened competition often drives some individuals to attempt shortcuts.

Parents and guardians are also being urged to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities or leakages to security agencies or UNEB directly. Educational stakeholders hope for a smooth and credible examination season free of major scandals.
