Pupils with disabilities are denied level ground in exams

Feb 12, 2002

SIR—I write to express my disatisfaction with the way UNEB handles examinations in this country. While the number of cheating schools is increasing, UNEB keeps a blind eye to “special” schools.

SIR—I write to express my disatisfaction with the way UNEB handles examinations in this country. While the number of cheating schools is increasing, UNEB keeps a blind eye to “special” schools. I am a former pupil of Uganda School for the Deaf and this is my observation:- Sign language interpreters are not provided during UNEB examinations. - Examinations of deaf pupils should be marked by teachers with special education in handling deaf pupils.- I call upon the MPs for PWDS to address this issue with the urgency it deserves.David KafeeroFormer Pupil Uganda School For the Deaf
