Government toughens on schools of students missing UNEB exams

The Ministry of Education says it is to take action against all Schools that barred  students from sitting their final Exams because of none payment of third term school fees.

This follows reports that some schools stopped students from sitting for their exams on grounds that they had not completed paying their fees.

The Minister of Education and Sports Jessica Alupo, says Head teachers should not use UNEB exams as an avenue  to collect dues from students as they should have done that during the course of the term.

She described this as a violation of  human rights because everyone has the a right to attain education. 

Alupo noted that the Ministry will put in place a committee to investigate such cases and later take action against schools and head teachers who are culprits.

A’ Level examinations kicked off yesterday with students sitting for their economics paper and biology.
