The Minister of Education and Sports, Janet Kataha Museveni has spoken out on schools blocking candidates from sitting final exams due to fees balances.
“I have received reports of students who missed writing their final UNEB exams on account of their schools’ refusal to allow them to sit exams because of school fees balances. This is against standing government policy,” she said in a tweet Wednesday warning, “No school administrator is allowed to stop any UNEB registered candidate from sitting his/her final exams because of unpaid school fees balances. Exam results however of the candidate can be withheld by the school administrators until he/she has cleared all outstanding fees.”
Museveni said she has directed her Permanent Secretary and UNEB to act on the matter.
“I have accordingly instructed the Permanent Secretary @Educ_SportsUg and the Executive Secretary UNEB to investigate this matter and take the necessary action,” she said.Recently,
