Africa-Press<\/a> – Uganda<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Uganda National Examination board on Friday said it had withheld 2020 Uganda Certificate of Education (UCE) for 1,292 candidate over examination malpractice.<\/p>\n

\u201cA total of 1,292 results will be withheld in accordance with Section 5 (2) (b) of the UNEB Act No 1 of 2021. This number was 1,825 in 2019,\u201d said Uneb executive secretary, Mr Dan Odongo before adding that the affected candidates will be given a fair hearing.<\/p>\n

Mr Odongo who made the remarks while releasing results at State House Nakasero added that examination centres from which results are withheld will be notified through their portals.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe measures put in resulted in a welcome reduction in the cases of malpractice. Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Mathematics have been most affected, with external assistance, collusion among candidates, and impersonation and script substitution as the common cases,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

In 2020, 330,592 candidates (165,251 males and 165,341 females) appeared for the examination compared to 333,060 candidates who appeared for the examination in 2019.<\/p>\n

This is a decrease of 2,468 (-0.7%) candidates.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe number of females who sat was more than that of males by 90 candidates,\u201d Mr Odongo added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
