The Uganda National Examinations Board has warned parents across the country not to fall prey to unscrupulous people asking for money to have their children registered for the 2020 national examinations.

UNEB Principal Public Relations Office, Jennifer Kalule says their attention has been drawn to an open letter to the minister of education and sports alleging among other things; that UNEB is stressing parents by demanding for registration fees at a time when they are struggling to survive during this COVID-19 lockdown.

She told parents on Sunday that no candidate has been registered.

According to Kalule, online registration of candidates for the year 2020 was due to start on April 1 2020 but was halted following a directive by President Museveni.

UNEB accordingly on March 19, 2020 communicated to the public that registration of candidates would be put on hold until schools resume.
