Though there were no major problems reported during this weeks’
Primary Leaving Examinations (PLE), there was one hitch at one
examination centre in Karongi District, where eight candidates received
examination papers for which they were not meant to sit. Sources
at Mukungu ADPR examination centre, said the National Examination
Council packaged eight copies of the English examination scripts
together with Mathematics papers that was supposed to be done on
Tuesday. English was expected to be done yesterday
It was only after the exam that the students realized that they had sat for a wrong paper. “Towards
the end of the exam, the students saw their colleagues frequently using
calculators and other mathematical equipments. It’s when the 8 students
who had received the wrong copies realized that they were doing a
different paper,” Michel Mulindankiko, the district education director
told The New Times yesterday. On realising the
mistake, he added, the eight students were immediately separated from
the rest in order to avoid leaking the exam to their colleagues. “We
have convinced them why they must not leak the exam and thus are
temporarily holding them together in one house until the English exam
also is done today by
the others,” he said. |
