Yei River County Education authority in Central Equatoria State calls on teachers and parents to regularly supervise their children in attending lessons to fight poor performance.
The department last week released the county primary eight mock exams results showing that 2,063 pupils failed out of 3,374 candidates who sat the exams.
The County Exams Board Chairperson Amos Alexander while speaking to Radio Easter on Wednesday attributed the poor performance to absenteeism, limited teachers and pupils’ lack of reading culture, asserting that through supervision, the pupils would perform better in the next exams.
Mr Amos advised pupils to avoid spending more time watching movies rather than studying their lessons to pass well.
