The ministry of education has directed the Uganda National Examinations Board to withdraw the examination center numbers of schools that have persistently featured in cases of malpractice.
While releasing the 2012 Senior 4 results this afternoon, Minister Jesica Alupo ordered the examination body to take stern action against offenders to deter others from engaging in such unlawful acts.
Meanwhile, the minister has also asked UNEB to plug all the loopholes in the registration of candidates to avoid cases of candidates missing exams due to unpaid fees.
The UCE results released today indicated a slight decline in performance in 2012 compared to 2011.
The senior five selection exercise is set for 14th and 16th February and Wonder World in Kansanga, a Kampala suburb.
The senior five students are expected to start school on March 4th.
