This happened this morning as ordinary and advanced level students across the country started their national exams.
153 students who sat for their exams in the school are from Ecole Technique SOS, World Vision Secondary School, and APAETA.
At 8 A.M when Mutimura started issuing exam papers to students, he saw two students who were both doing Mathematics exam seated together.
After inspecting the entire room, he found many students seated together and working on the same exam and immediately requested Mbonabucya who headed the examination center to leave.
In a press conference after launching the exams, Minister Mutimura said that Mbonabucya has not been dismissed from his job, but from the examination center supervisor.
“I have requested him not to do the job he was doing here and asked someone else to do it. We have not dismissed him, but we are asking him to step aside so that others help him with the job because he was not working well,” he said.
He appealed to other teachers who are monitoring examinations all over the country to be vigilant and make sure that no students doing the same exam are seated together.
“There should be enough space, about three or two meters between each other because the problem is not space but the way they are organized,” he said.
Today, 143,551 secondary school candidates started the exams among whom 46,653 are Advanced Level students while 96,898 are sitting for Ordinary Level.
