The Ministry of Education was yesterday locked in a meeting to decide how schools will partially reopen two weeks from today after President Museveni allowed candidates to report.
In an earlier interview, the ministry's commissioner in charge of Business, Technical and Vocational Education Training, Ms Safinah Museene, said the May/June examinations for Uganda Nurses and Midwifery Examinations Board, Uganda Allied Health Examinations Board and Uganda Business and Technical Examinations Board students had been indefinitely postponed due to the abrupt closure of the education institutions.
Ms Jennifer Kasule, the Uganda National Examinations Board (Uneb) spokesperson, said they would adjust their examination timetable when schools resume to accommodate the lost time.
At the time of the lockdown, Ms Kalule said the board had not printed last year's candidates' certificates yet institutions of higher learning require that applicants submit the documents as proof that they sat and passed the examinations before admission to university.
By this time, Uneb would have completed registering Primary Seven, Senior Four and Senior Six candidates ahead of their end of cycle examinations in October.
