The National Examination Council has canceled the Certificate of Secondary Education (CSE) results for three secondary schools over examination malpractices.
This was revealed by Simon Nyok Deng, the Secretary General for National Examination Council while announcing results on Thursday at Imperial Hotel in Juba.
“We have canceled 46 results of candidates that were found with phones and foreign materials in their live script, we have partially canceled 203 results across the board from work of coalition and external appeasement from teachers that were detected by markers,” Deng said.
The affected schools include Standard Secondary in Wau town of Western Bahr El Ghazel State, and Gatyiel Secondary School in Unity State and Juba High Secondary in Bor town of Jonglei State respectively.
Deng disclosed that students in these schools also pelted stones at security personnel and examination monitors during examination period in March this year.
The 2022 secondary school Examination was written from March 20th till March 24th.
About 36,150 students (23,300 males and 12,805 female candidates) in 398 secondary schools across the country sat the exams.
Martin Tako Moyi, the Deputy Minister for Ministry of General Education and Instruction said national examination council took a decision to cancel results as a deterrent for examination malpractices.
“The council members decided unanimously to curb malpractices by people who tempered with examinations, they removed our security organs, the police and our invigilators from the examination room,” Moyi said.
“We are canceling these results as a deterrent so that next time nobody attempts, we are further collaborating with our security organs so that these people are brought to book,” he added.
