Ministry of Education has warned schools against giving external mock examinations to learners as they wait to sit for their UNEB finals.
In April, the Minister of Education, Janet Museveni banned schools from giving candidates several mock examinations as is the normal practice.
She argued that the ban from extra sets of mocks is to ensure that the syllabus recovery term is not misused. Janet said that all learners will sit for one set of internal mock examinations at the end of the second term.
Ismael Mulindwa the Director Basic and Secondary Education says that they have received reports of schools charging parents money for Mocks. Mulindwa says that the actions of the schools are unacceptable because some parents can’t afford due to the effects of the covid-19 lock down.
