    At Government Bilingual High School Mendong and other visited centres, the Minister assessed key examination conditions, focusing mainly on the adequacy of lighting in examination halls and the installation of security cameras aimed at ensuring fairness and transparency.

    Accompanying the ministerial team, the Secretary of State at the Ministry of Secondary Education, Boniface Bayaola, observed that although overall technical arrangements were satisfactory across both the Anglophone and Francophone subsystems, some shortcomings were still noted, particularly in examination halls and lighting conditions.
