All is not well at the Banda based second biggest public university in Uganda. The latest news reaching the Campusbee website is that students at Kyambogo university may not sit for end of semester exams. But why? Apparently the university staff has declined to hand in exams. In an exclusive interview with New Vision, a head of department at the university said most of the staff have declined to hand in the exams despite repeated reminders to do so.
“The university set the commencement date for exams for November 24. By now we should have finished typesetting some of them (exams). But this has not happened yet because staff have refused to set,” said a department head in the faculty of science, who preferred anonymity.
The lecturers under the association, Kyambogo University Staff Association (KYUASA), have refused to set exams on grounds that allowances include marking allowance, research, marking allowances be paid before they set the end of semester exams.
We happens next? We are keeping our ear to the ground.
