Kasese, Uganda | The Black Examiner – The Uganda Business and Technical Examination Board (UBTEB) commenced its highly anticipated July/August assessment session, but not without facing a few unexpected hurdles. As students who are retaking papers geared up for the crucial exams, disruptions arose due to complications with the examination codes.
This morning, the media witnessed a flurry of concerns pouring in from various examination centers, all grappling with the perplexing issue of examination codes. The center officials were inundated with calls, highlighting the urgency of resolving the matter.
Speaking to The Black Examiner on the matter, Mr. Narasi Kambaho, the esteemed Principal Communications Officer of UBTEB, disclosed that the board had recently implemented changes to the codes assigned to certain papers.
