[Gurtong | File] By Peter Lokale Nakimangole TORIT, 30 October 2012 [Gurtong] – “I have the honour to inform the entire public of Eastern Equatoria State and more particularly the people of Chukudum – parents with their very sons and daughters who had been affected as students, that their withheld results have now finally been released to you for public consumption,” said Michael Lopuke at his office in Torit. The minister broke out the news after getting a circular dated 19 October 2012, from the Ministry of General Education and Instructions Undersecretary Deng Deng Hoc Yai. The minister warned the two schools against any form of examination irregularity as they risk losing their centre and results automatically. He described the practice as a damaging and those involved are going to be dealt with administratively as agreed by the secretariat which he did not reveal but will be followed accordingly as communicated. He said the recommendations to deal with the problem has been communicated but remain confidential as the two; the Secretariat of Examinations and the State Ministry are going to handle the matter administratively. The Minister commented that it was not the intention of his Ministry to cause the holdup or withholding of the results but the detection by the concerned examiners. He said thorough investigations were carried out by the examinations secretariat and after studying the case, the results of the two schools had been settled and released but administrative disciplines on supervisors and chief invigilators will take place. The Minister explained that during the marking exercise; they observed patterns of answers typical of malpractice ranging from same optional questions being chosen by all the candidates in the two centres in all the papers that were administered. Both candidates passed and failed the same questions throughout the two schools and the candidates had the same answering styles and used same technical words throughout the schools, which were all signs of examinations malpractices. He said based on these observations, the chiefs were therefore convinced of malpractices in the two centres. The report reveals that the secretariat of Examinations conducted a series of meetings to investigate the extent and the nature of alleged malpractices and made a decision on the two schools after they were reported to have been involved in different forms of examinations irregularities. Chukudum Progressive Academy registered 23 candidates while Chukudum Secondary School had 19 candidates.
