More than 30,000 students offering technical and vocational courses are slated to start their final examinations today.

The Executive Secretary of the Uganda Business and Technical Examination Board (Ubteb), Mr Onesmus Oyesigye, said due to Covid-19, the students will sit their exams in two shifts in line with the standard operating procedures.

Addressing journalists at their offices in Kampala last Friday, Mr Oyesigye said: “Following the reopening of tertiary institutions on November 1, the board conducted successful online registration of candidates and other examination related processes. They have been prepared to sit for their exams starting today.”

Mr Oyesigye added that a total of 29,486 candidates from 354 centres will start their exams today.
These will do both theory and practical exams in two weeks’ time and finish on December 22.These are offering national and higher diploma and certificate technical courses as well as biological physical sciences.

The second batch of students are slated to sit the exams in January 2022 up to February 4. These are from Education, Business and Humanities.

Meanwhile, the number of female students slated to sit these exams remains low.
The 28,144 lined up to sit national, higher diploma and national certificates only 7,015 are female while 21,128 are males.

Similarly, out of the 1,342 slated to sit exams in Biological and Physical sciences, only 490 are females while 851 are males.

Mr Oyesigye said the number of female students, especially in technical courses, has remained low, because the perception that some jobs are only for male has persisted among the public.
This is the second set of examinations to be conducted by the board this year.
