South Sudanese Students are forging academic papers in Uganda, Government report states

 



Top Trending News Today: 





South Sudanese Embassy in Uganda wrote a report revealing widespread patterns of South Sudanese Students forging academic documents in Uganda. 


The report which was shown to the media on Tuesday states the procedures used by South Sudanese citizens in Uganda to forge academic papers for use in South Sudan. 


The 2008 investigation was carried out by a group that included the late Deng Alier Mading and Lual Akol Nhial. Their research, which was tasked with identifying, confirming, and certifying academic credentials in Uganda, revealed the alarmingly high incidence of fake papers from 2008 to 2022.


The study claims that between 2016 and 2022, the South Sudan embassy in Uganda processed 9,076 academic certificates in total. Out of this total, 8,098 have successfully completed extensive verification and validation, attesting to their legitimacy as academic credentials.


So far  978 documents, however, have been determined to be fakes, leading to their confiscation and detention by embassy officials. 


This means only 10.776% of the academic certificates have been evaluated throughout the designated period.
