Ulang S.4 Students miss nation-wide exams
Authorities in Ulang County of Upper Nile State say fifty-three students have missed sitting for this year’s senior four national exams due to an abrupt change in the exams center.
They are comprised of forty-three male and ten-female candidates.
Ulang County Education Director says the national examination council designed one exams center for the area, but this was later shifted to Nasir County.
Samuel Koang told Eye Radio that the county received the information about the changes late.
“We did all the preparations including the index number for Ulang Center, then at the last moment, the center was moved to Nasir and the students are not ready to go to Nasir because the information was passed late, ” he said.
Besides, Koang said, the student could not afford transport to Nasir, and there is insecurity on the road.
‘The security on the roads is not good and traveling to Nasir is expensive,’ he added.
Gadek Gatwej, one of the students who have missed the ongoing nationwide exams expressed his frustrations over the matter.
“For the whole year, we have been preparing to sit for our exams in Ulang but when the time came, they said we are not sitting for exams in Ulang,
‘We complained but there is no response or solution, that’s why we are asking, are we not south Sudanese, why are we not given the exams in Ulang?
Several phone calls to the Secretary of National Examination Council for comment went answered.
