March 1, 2021 Students of Gayaza Road secondary school
There was panic at Gayaza Road secondary school this morning when school administrators ordered some candidates to shave their hair before they could be allowed to sit the Uganda Certificate of Education (UCE) exams.
The candidates converged at the school assembly at around 7:45 am for the teachers to update them on the dos and don’ts in the examination room. The director of studies, Jude Wasswa expressed disappointment that some of the candidates looked shabby with unkempt hair.
“We told you to be neat on examination day,” he shouted before ordering those with long hair to leave the school and go to the nearby salons to cut it off. Those with long hair left the school compound in panic as they rushed to the nearby salons to shave their hair.
