The Commander Artillery Division and Chairman of the Board of Governors of Masindi Army Secondary and Primary Schools, Major General Daniel Kakono, has encouraged Senior Six candidates to approach their Uganda Advanced Certificate of Education (UACE) examinations with confidence, calmness and determination.
Addressing candidates during a briefing at the school premises, Maj Gen Kakono said that the examinations provide an opportunity to demonstrate the knowledge and skills acquired over two years of study.
“Wishing you calm minds and sharp memories in the examination room. Proverbs 16:3 says, ‘Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established,’” Maj Gen Kakono said.
He commended the school administration for its rigorous academic programme and thanked parents, BOG and Parents-Teachers Association (PTA) members for their continued support and guidance.
The Headteacher of Masindi Army Secondary School, Major Rumunus Tazzy, said 202 candidates had registered for the UACE examinations, comprising 102 boys and 100 girls.
He appreciated Maj Gen Kakono for his continued administrative and financial support towards the school’s development.
Maj Tazzy said the candidates had been adequately prepared through field tours, workshops, teaching sessions and seminars, which had equipped them with the knowledge and confidence required to sit the examinations.
“Read the instructions carefully in every examination paper, be smart and ensure that you eat enough food to maintain your energy,” Maj Tazzy advised the candidates.
The briefing was attended by the Division Inspector of Schools, Captain Mubarak Lusiba; PTA Chairman, Mr Byaruhanga Victor; teachers and students.
