Kampala Metropolitan Deputy Police spokesperson Luke Owoyesigyire has identified the deceased as Musanje Ahmed a teacher from Masha S.S from Isingiro district, Western Uganda who died while coming out of a taxi in Seguku central zone this morning.
Bukalasi Secondary School registered 10 candidates for UACE, only boys but only 2 sat for History paper and one Mathematics making a total of three candidates.
Fredrick Kiyingi, the Wakiso District Education Officer who doubles as the chairperson of the DEOs Association, says that many learners failed to resume studies after the COVID-19 lockdown.
Unlike Primary Leaving Examinations(PLE) that begun with a heavy downpour in many areas, the good weather that many teachers and UNEB staff were optimistic would enable exams start on time didn't help.
"The start of exams at PLE was delayed by heavy rains but today we see the weather in Kampala is favourable. We expect all examinations to start on time, we do not foresee any delays," she said. The examination cycle is expected to kick off at 9:00 am with History and Mathematics.
