HANDLING EXAMINATION FEES MUST BE SOLVED ONCE FOR ALL

I have not once advised UNEB to open Collection Accounts where children/students/parents can deposit examination fees, unfortunately, I don't seem to get the right response and wht we see on ground are children time and again complaining that they are missing exams. We remain underdeveloped when we fail to get the right medicines to our problems. I wish to appeal to UNEB and the Ministry of Education to sort the matter for exmination fees once for all. Please open correction accounts throughout the country at no extra cost there will be no complaints for undelivered exam fees.
Thank you.

M/S UNEB,
As usual, some schools have already given students the demand notes for what has to be paid for exams. Can you be good to us and put in place a procedure that will first of all ensure that schools don’t cheap parents and secondly that all children/parents whose parents pay don’t get silly excuses that Head teachers stole the money.
We would love that the Ministry of Education and UNEB agree to an arrangement where parents pay into UNEB Collection Accounts then the deposit slips are collected by the schools the tallies made and returns submitted to UNEB. In such an arrangement, UNEB would not have extra work load and the parents as well as students/children will be comfortable.
Thank you.

I made the submission below, and I think we have had enough as regards children missing exams and head teachers cheating parents. I pray that you implement my proposal as the solution.

Dear Sir,
RE: HANDLING EXAMINATION FEES
I happen to be a parent who paid shs 108,000/- under pressure for my child who was in S 4 last year. When parents request UNEB to help receive the official examination fees they are really at pain. It was disturbing to learn from the CBS Programme of Good Friday when the PRO of UNEB was hosted and not only was the programme presenter shocked to learn that some schools were charging twice the official fee but also the parents who rang into the programme!
We ought to have solutions to these problems. The solution is simple. UNEB should open up Collection Accounts at least one bank/financial institution in a locality, have the official fee announced (and the time lag with in which payments should be done). The parents would then bank the money and submit a copy of the pay-in slip to the school and retain the third copy. The school would then submit the list of students who have to be registered together with copies of the deposit slips to UNEB. There would be no additional work by UNEB; but parents would pay the right fee for exams.
If schools have additional payments to be made; first there is no reason why these have to be requested at the time when exam fees are being submitted. I think this can be done over a period of time up to the exam time. And the parents should be clear of what they are paying for. UNEB should also be clear on what schools have to spend on say chemicals and other requirements for science practical examinations for which additional payments may be justified. It is sad that the parents are taken for a ride simply because they have to see their children sit for the papers.
Thank you.
Yours faithfully
Willy Kituuka
