Borrowed loans should be used to generate the income and at the same time to eradicate socio economic effects among the people living in Buwama subdivision in Mpigi district, Uganda We can now successfully conclude that the effects of social economic status on the student's academic achievements are several but the researcher decided specifically to deal on those major effects resulted from the causes. But the question to be continuously researched on in future is that of availing enough resourceful information concerning this aspect so as to avoid the scarcity of resources to finance education, another one is how to continue addressing the challenges of those victims who once were affected with effects of socio-economic status. The challenge at the moment is how to help those students from low income homes. Another one is how might the teacher help a school_ of a kind to improve on the academic performance, lastly is how to ensure that the students become more positive about their chances for succeeding in school and later in life? Generally these effects have not only affected the mentioned students in the sampled secondary schools above but also other secondary schools in other parts of the country Uganda.

The study was guided by three specific objectives, that included i) to examine the effect of UNEB examiners’ attitudes on effectiveness of conveyor belt system of marking in Uganda; ii) to establish the effect of UNEB examiners’ values on effectiveness of conveyor belt system of marking in Uganda and (iii) to assess the effect of UNEB examiners’ beliefs on effectiveness of conveyor belt system of marking in Uganda. This research used a descriptive correlational research design to describe the effect of UNEB examiners’ personality on effectiveness of conveyor belt system of marking in Uganda. The study used a research population of 261 and a sample size of 177. The findings indicated that there exists a positive and significant relationship between UNEB examiners’ attitudes and effectiveness of conveyor belt system of marking in Uganda, which implied that positive UNEB examiners’ attitudes increases the of effectiveness of conveyor belt system of marking in, Uganda, and negative UNEB examiners’ attitudes reduce it, the findings revealed that there is a significant relationship between UNEB examiners’ values and effectiveness of conveyor belt system of marking in Uganda, and this implied that good UNEB examiners’ values significantly increases the effectiveness of conveyor belt system of marking in Uganda, the findings proved a positive significant relationship between UNEB examiners’ beliefs and effectiveness of conveyor belt system of marking in Uganda, this therefore implies that favorable UNEB examiners’ beliefs can improve on the effectiveness of conveyor belt system of marking and unfavorable examiners’ beliefs reduce it. The researcher concluded that; positive UNEB examiners’ attitudes increases the of effectiveness of conveyor belt system of marking in, Uganda, and negative UNEB examiners’ attitudes reduce it, the researcher also concluded that good UNEB examiners’ values significantly increases the effectiveness of conveyor belt system of marking in Uganda, and lastly; that favorable UNEB examiners’ beliefs can improve on the effectiveness of conveyor belt system of marking and unfavorable examiners’ beliefs reduce it.

The researcher recommended that; UNEB should put in place strategies such as bonus payments who ever completes marking the exams before the set time, this will help to make sure that all members in a conveyor belt system of marking have the same marking speed, hence improving on the effectiveness of the CBS of marking, UNEB should train the examiners about other marking systems or techniques, this will help them believe that using a CBS of marking is not the only best way of marking exams, UNEB should always organize orientations specifically for new markers by team leaders, and this will help to provide Guidance to the new markers, UNEB should always to put regulations governing the examiners’ arrival in the marking room, this will help to solve the problem of coming late, and will make the examiners in a centre all report on time for marking. UNEB should put in place penalties in case of any work found in a scripts un marked by the examiners, this will help to reduce on the work in a script which is left unmarked by examiner while using CBS, hence improving the effectiveness of the conveyor belt system of marking, UNEB should reduce on the costs of marking by employing only productive and not expensive examiners during marking of exams.
