Ms. Kalule stated that the candidate, post-delivery, was granted an additional 45 minutes due to circumstantial impairment and successfully completed her paper.
Additionally, another candidate had given birth approximately six days prior, and she was permitted to attend school with her mother to care for the newborn. The third incident involved a candidate who delivered a month ago in Serere.
