Pupils with cancelled PLE told to repeat P7

By Catherine Ntabadde UGANDA National Examination Board, UNEB, has ordered 6,796 last year's primary pupils, whose exams were cancelled to repeat primary seven. UNEB cancelled the pupils' exams after finding out that their schools had cheated in the exams. UNEB has also cancelled the St. Noa junior School, Zana, examination centre for cheating. The centre which had 185 students had all their exams cancelled. Eva Konde, the UNEB spokesperson told Education Vision that St. Noa's centre has been cancelled because they have been warned several times to stop cheating but in vain. UNEB has decided that any school caught cheating for the second time will have their centre number withdrawn indefinitely and the Ministry of Education will be asked to cancel the license. During the release of last year's PLE results, Dr. Wana Etyam, the education chairman released the top 10 districts with cheating incidences. Ends
