The Uganda National Examinations Board (UNEB) has called upon all schools to submit their first and second term assessment marks for Senior Four and Senior Six candidates for the academic year 2022.
In a letter to all head teachers of Secondary schools dated March 15, UNEB Executive Director, Mr Dan Odongo demanded that all coursework assessment marks be submitted electronically.
He added that these marks will be considered when grading the candidates’ final UNEB results for the 2022 Academic year.
Mr Odongo said coursework assessment is key and an ingredient of the results in the subjects for which it is a requirement.
“Due to the impact of Covid-19 on the school calendar, schools are to submit coursework assessment marks for term one and term two of the school academic year 2022,” the letter read in part.
He continues to remind students who had transferred to other centers where they would sit for their exams, to ensure that all their coursework assessment marks were transferred to their new center.
“Any candidate with no coursework assessment marks or with incomplete coursework marks shall not be graded in the respective subject(s),” the letter added.
In what started as a temporary effort to mitigate the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic, President Museveni ended up imposing the world’s longest lockdown on schools, until they were finally reopened on January 10 with an abridged curriculum.
Other requirements
• Submission of coursework marks shall be done electronically starting on August 15 and ending on September 30
• Late submission of coursework assessment marks from October 1 to 15 shall attract a surcharge of Shs50,000 per candidate
• The board shall not receive coursework assessment marks after October 15.
