The state minister for sports, Denis Obua has revealed\u00a0that the Uganda<\/span> Hippos (U20) and (U17) players who missed the Uganda Certificate of Education exams while representing Uganda in<\/span> AFCON that was held in <\/span>Morocco and Mauritania will have to repeat S4 and sit<\/span> their exams next year.<\/span><\/p>\n

Parents of those students and a number of Ugandans asked the government to give special exams to them arguing that they represented the country so well.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, the minister has told members on the Education committee chaired by Palisa<\/span> county MP Jacob Opoloti that they have talked to different stake<\/span>holders in the education sector and have consulted UNEB on the same<\/span> matter but it has declined to set special exams for these students saying<\/span>\u00a0it will set a very bad precedence.<\/span><\/p>\n

He also added that they have done\u00a0<\/span>their part as requested by\u00a0<\/span>parliament to see that those students be given special exams but they\u00a0<\/span>were not successful because UNEB declined.<\/span><\/p>\n

Those who missed final exams include: Alpha Thierry Ssali who was with the Uganda<\/span>\u00a0hippos in Mauritania and the rest by the names of Ivan\u00a0<\/span>Irinimbabazi of Royal Giants High school, Oscar Mawa of Gombe High,<\/span>
\nMutyaba Travis St Mary\u2019s SS, Kitende and Elvis Mwanje Masaka SS.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
