Education minister Jessica Alupo has warned university students against offering sex to lecturers in exchange for marks, saying it is a criminal act that is subject to punishment.
Alupo said such behavior would give a huge blow to education standards in the country.
She made the remarks at the launch of the National Council of Higher Education (NCHE) exhibition at UMA Hall in Kampala on Friday.
“I have heard of cases where students offer sex for good results and also seduce lectures to give them free marks,” she said.
“This is a warning to all those doing it, it is a criminal offence that is punishable.”
Alupo said it is unethical for students to get marks they have not worked for through illicit means such as seduction of teachers.
