In a press statement dated May 2, 2025, UNEB confirmed that its internal security systems had detected the malpractice early, leading to swift disciplinary action. The two staff members reportedly confessed to the offense and admitted to attempting the act for the first time.
“The Board has a zero tolerance policy to examination malpractice, particularly adulteration of marks at any stage,” the statement emphasized. UNEB reassured the public that its robust quality assurance measures remain intact and effective in upholding the credibility of national examinations.
Contrary to circulating claims that over 20 staff members were involved and that the malpractice dates back to 2018, UNEB said no such evidence was found during thorough internal investigations. “The story alleges longstanding contact with schools, but our findings indicate otherwise. No other officers were implicated,” the statement clarified.
The two dismissed staff members were also handed over to the police for further investigations.

“The public is requested to remain calm and not be alarmed by the misleading social media reports,” the Board said, affirming its commitment to transparency and integrity in the administration of examinations.
