Aloyce Kamamba, made the revelation here yesterday, adding that a total
of 13,362 students including 6,810 girls and 6,552 boys were sitting the

because they have a role to play in shaping the students to become
committed future leaders and I urge the students to also remain calm,”

culture of giving frequent aptitude tests to students in Standard Seven,
Form One and Form Four to sharpen their skills before they attempt
national examinations.
“Such tests are essential to enable
students to prepare well for the coming exams and avoid exam fevers, he

routinely make a close follow-up of their students’ school attendances
to enable them know their weakness and ways to address them.
