As a deterrent to the vice of malpractice, the Uganda Business and Technical Examinations Board (UBTEB) will cancel results of the entire semester for candidates who will be found copying and smuggling unauthorized materials.

The new regulations signed by the education minister, Janet Museveni, take effect from November – December 2019 examination series.

They apply to every party that is directly or indirectly involved in the assessment or conduct of examinations.

UBTEB executive secretary Onesmus Oyesigye told www.mknewslink.com that the regulations have been revised to uphold the integrity of the board examinations and the validity of its certificates.

According to the new regulations, UBTEB will cancel results of the entire semester for candidates who will be found copying, smuggling unauthorized materials, plagiarizing, using mobile phones, programmable calculators and writing on their body parts or clothes.

For impersonation where a candidate or any other person attempts to sit an exam for another candidate, results for the entire semester will also be cancelled and the impersonator handed over to police for prosecution.
