Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>Heads of schools across the country have started picking examination materials from the Uganda National Examination Board (Uneb) in preparation for the 2022 national exams.<\/p>\n

Monitor<\/b><\/p>\n

has learnt that all head teachers have up to October 14 to collect the materials from the Uneb centre in Industrial Area, Kampala.<\/p>\n

Uneb, which is mandated to conduct the end of year national examinations, started issuing examination materials on Monday.<\/p>\n

The national exams are set to commence next month.<\/p>\n

According to Uneb officials, the materials include answer sheets, booklets, graph papers, timetables, attendance registers for both learners and invigilators, commerce booklets and fine art papers.<\/p>\n

In an interview with Monitor yesterday, the Uneb principal communication officer, Ms Jenipher Kalule, said the board will distribute the materials within a month before examinations kick-off.<\/p>\n

A total of 1,280,172 learners have been registered to sit for the examinations, according to Uneb.<\/p>\n

Heads of schools react<\/p>\n

Mr Martin Okiria, the national chairperson of Secondary Schools\u2019 Head Teachers\u2019 Association, said all heads of schools have been notified to start picking the examination materials.<\/p>\n

\u201cMost schools have been preparing to conduct these examinations and I can ably say we are set to take our learners through the process,\u201d Mr Okiria said in an interview with Daily Monitor yesterday.<\/p>\n

He, however, decried the current high prices of commodities on the market, saying it is going to make it hard for schools to thrive.<\/p>\n

The chairperson of the National Private Educational Institutions Association, Mr Hasadu Kirabira, said there a few schools that are facing challenges in accessing the materials.<\/p>\n

In terms of readiness to conduct exams, Kirabira said: \u201cI cannot say we are 100 percent prepared because some candidates have up to date not reported to schools after their parents failed to clear all the requirements.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said some schools are struggling to complete the syllabus before learners sit for the exams, adding that they will assess their readiness two weeks from now.<\/p>\n

Examination schedule<\/p>\n

\u2022 Senior Four candidates are slated to start their exams with briefing on October 14. The actual exams will commence on October 16 and end on November 18.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Primary Seven candidates will sit for the Primary Leaving Examinations (PLE) on November 8 and 9. They will be briefed on November 7.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Senior Six candidates will commence their exams on November 21 and end on December 9. Briefing will be done on November 18.<\/p>\n
