The Board has introduced a toll free line 0800-211-077 which members of the public can use to report any suspected case of examinations malpractice. The Board also has now in place a whistle Blower's policy to protect those reporting from victimization andalso ensure their compensation once the information is proven to be accurate.

The Uganda Certificate of Education (UCE) Examination for the 2022 candidates will officially start on Friday October 14, 2022 with the briefing of candidates. The briefing is a very important exercise which must be conducted by the head teachers themselves. During the briefing session, candidates must be made aware of the instructions contained in the timetable and the Rules and Regulations on examination conduet. The head toachers must explain clearly to the candidates the
consequences of their not adhering to these rules and regulations, and of cheating in
the examination. UNEB has found out that cases of irregularities and malpractice
by candidates quite often arise from candidates receiving inadequate, or no briefing at all. We wish to encourage parents who can do so, to attend the briefing as well.

National Prayers and Dedication for Exams, candidates and UNEB Processes.

*Happy to you all our dear teachers* . We bless God for your dedicated and selfless service to the country. UNEB is proud to be associated with you. We are able to deliver on our mandate because of you teachers.
