WHAT LOOKS LIKE POOR PERFORMANCE MAY BE FRUITS OF THE FIGHT TO END EXAMINATION CHEATING

It is most probable that what UNEB and Ministry of Education see as a decline in performance is the fruits of the fight of mal-practices in examinations. It is no news that many schools for long have been and continue to cheat in examinations. Now what we are seeing is the true picture of how students are standing with less cheating. UNEB needs to address the issue of examiners who visit schools and advise what students should read and how they should go about answering questions. In the forthcoming results, before the release, those excelling students should be called to UNEB and given trial short exams to ascertain whether they have the brains to have got so many A's etc. William Kituuka Kiwanuka
