The Uganda National Examinations Board (UNEB) has imposed surcharges for late Uganda Advanced Certificate of Education (UACE) Continuous Assessment (CA) scores.
Odongo said that the timetable for the NLSC has 36 subjects compared to the 46 subjects of the old curriculum, adding that it focuses on the End of Cycle (EoC) assessment conducted by UNEB, which will contribute 80% of the overall achievement by each learner. The other 20% is comprised of the Continuous Assessment (CA) carried out at school for every learner.
"Candidates and all concerned must note that involvement in malpractice in one paper shall lead to cancellation of results of all the examinations, and where malpractice is suspected, candidates and all concerned will be summoned to appear before the board."
UNEB has registered four examinations (4Es), which are the Primary Leaving Examination (PLE), Uganda Certificate of Education (UCE-New Curriculum), UCE-Transitional Examination (Old Curriculum), and Uganda Advanced Certificate of Education (UACE).
