The Uganda National Examination Board (UNEB) has confirmed that 56 examiners have halted the marking of examination scripts due to dissatisfaction with low pay. The examiners, who were earning Shs950 per script, demanded an increase to Shs1,500, citing the demanding nature of their work.

The incident occurred at Namugongo Secondary and Vocational School, where the affected examiners walked out on December 16, 2024, after negotiations with UNEB failed to yield a resolution.

UNEB spokesperson Jennifer Kalule acknowledged the walkout, stating, “We know that 56 examiners have left the marking center. UNEB spoke with them, but they chose to leave. However, we have sufficient examiners to ensure the marking process continues without delays.”

Kalule reassured the public that the board remains committed to delivering results on time, despite the disruption. She emphasized that UNEB has mobilized enough resources and personnel to handle the marking workload.

The protesting examiners pointed out that their concerns are longstanding. They noted that their complaints about low remuneration, especially with the increased demands of the new lower secondary curriculum, have been raised in the past but have yet to be addressed.

“Marking scripts is a meticulous process that requires time and effort. The current pay does not match the level of dedication required,” said one examiner.

The walkout highlights ongoing challenges in the education sector regarding teacher welfare and working conditions. Stakeholders have called on UNEB to address the matter promptly to avoid similar disruptions in the future.
