Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>At least 50 prisoners excelled in the Uganda Certificate of Education (UCE) examinations despite not having teachers.<\/p>\n

In an interview with the Monitor yesterday, Mr Frank Baine, the prisons spokesperson, said due to the Covid-19 restrictions, teachers were not allowed to access the prisons.<\/p>\n

Mr Baine added that the 2022 UCE performance is almost similar to the performance in 2021.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was based on individual input since there was no external assistance from teachers because of Covid-19. They read on their own,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Mr Baine also revealed that a second examination centre for prisoners was opened in Mbarara but he had not yet received their results by press time.<\/p>\n

While releasing the 2022 UCE results yesterday, Mr Dan Odongo, the executive secretary of Uganda National Examination Board (Uneb), said 50 of the 51 prison candidates had passed.<\/p>\n

The Uneb executive director, Mr Dan Odongo, said eight candidates had passed in Division Two, 16 in Division Three, 26 in Fourth Division and only one failed.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese examinations are intended to help the Uganda Prisons Service in its rehabilitation efforts for the inmates,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Uganda Prisons Service introduced Prisons Examination Centres for inmates who wish to serve their jail sentences while studying.<\/p>\n
