Kampala, Uganda – The Uganda National Examinations Board (UNEB) wants to make something clear. They are not going to start setting "mock examinations" for schools, even though some news reports said they would. UNEB says that a recent news story incorrectly used the words "pre-tests" and "mock exams" as if they were the same thing. The truth is that UNEB is currently carrying out "pre-tests" in some selected schools.
