Erastus Kibirango the LCV Chairperson of Luwero district says that the head teachers will appear before the Rewards and Sanctions Committee to defend themselves why the learners failed the exams.
Kibirango says that those who fail to defend themselves will be forwarded to District Service Commission to face disciplinary actions which include reprimand, demotions and dismissal.
