Uganda Christian University is to deliver examination papers to churches for students staying in hard to reach areas without internet access.
Since the government declared the lockdown following the outbreak of Covid-19, this is the second time UCU is attempting to give out examinations to its finalists.
The first attempt was cancelled by the government questioning its mode of setting, supervision and accessibility by students.
Now according to the deputy vice chancellor in charge of academic affairs, Rev. Dr John Kitayimbwa, after consulting with students in different parts of the country with low internet connect, they suggested that the university deliver papers to churches under various dioceses for easier access.
He notes that the rest of the students with internet access shall receive examinations from the university official online platforms stressing that all papers shall be written as a take home instead of being written online.
Rev.Dr. John on UCU Speaking;….
About supervision of papers to avoid examination mal-practice, Dr Kitayimbwa reveals that they have set situational questions that do not call for facts but require students to undertake practical activities. The university is sure that by September 15TH all students will have access to examinations that are expected to go on for a full month. ENDS .
