The Uganda Business and Technical Examinations Board (UBTEB) has today, released results of 21,190 students that sat for examinations last year, 2019.
The ceremony was attended by only 15 people including the Minister of Education for higher learning among others as witnesses to the ‘scientific’ release of the results.
A total of 4,810 females and 16,380 males sat for examinations for the National Technical Certificate Programmes, Business programmes and Physics and Biological Sciences. The candidates sat for the examinations at 556 examination centers
In record, there were only 68 cases of examination malpractice and 16 others are still under investigations. UBTEB has recommended cancelling the semester examinations.
Narasi Kambaho, the public relations officer at UBTEB noted that they decided to release the results early enough to give students the chance to apply to join other institutions of learning.
“Previously we could invite as many as 200 people but we have been forced to cut down on numbers due to the ministry of health gathering guidelines. We consulted with the ministry of education and agreed to have few people attend,” said Kambaho.
