According to a statement released by UNEB’s General Secretary Daniel Odong, distribution of examination materials started on Saturday under tight security.
Odong said over 800 scouts and security personnel were dispatched to oversee the process.
“We still warn schools against the involvement in malpractice in the examination and to guard against people who sell what they purport to be examination questions,” reads part of the statement signed by Daniel Odong.
This year’s number of candidates has gone down compared to the 102,007 candidates that sat for UACE exams in 2017.
