Over 30,000 candidates have begun sitting for the South Sudan Secondary Examinations countrywide today, with 340 centres earmarked for the exercise.

The Vice President of Service Cluster, Hussein Abdelbagi Akol, rang the bell on Wednesday morning, signifying the start of the examination process. Akol encouraged the candidates to maintain their integrity in examinations and work towards excellence.

“I would like to encourage the candidates to sit for all the examinations and work hard in faith and integrity. I would like to appeal to the candidates for South Sudan Secondary Examinations across the country to avoid examination malpractice,” Abdelbagi said as he addressed the media at Buluk Technical School in Juba.
