Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>Authorities in Ulang County of Upper Nile State say fifty-three students have missed sitting for this year\u2019s senior four national exams due to an abrupt change in the exams center.<\/p>\n

They are comprised of forty-three male and ten-female candidates.<\/p>\n

Ulang County Education Director says the national examination council designed one exams center for the area, but this was later shifted to Nasir County.<\/p>\n

Samuel Koang told Eye Radio that the county received the information about the changes late.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe did all the preparations including the index number for Ulang Center, then at the last moment, the center was moved to Nasir and the students are not ready to go to Nasir because the information was passed late, \u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Besides, Koang said, the student could not afford transport to Nasir, and there is insecurity on the road.<\/p>\n

\u2018<\/b>The security on the roads is not good and traveling to Nasir is expensive,\u2019 he added.<\/p>\n

Gadek Gatwej, one of the students who have missed the ongoing nationwide exams expressed his frustrations over the matter.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the whole year, we have been preparing to sit for our exams in Ulang but when the time came, they said we are not sitting for exams in Ulang,<\/p>\n

\u2018We complained but there is no response or solution, that\u2019s why we are asking, are we not south Sudanese, why are we not given the exams in Ulang?<\/p>\n

Several phone calls to the Secretary of National Examination Council for comment went answered.<\/p>\n
