The National Examinations Council has released the date and
guidelines for the conduct of its 2020 examinations.
This was contained in a press statement titled, “Making the
Conduct Of Public Examinations Work in the COVID-19 Era”, by the NECO
Registrar/Chief Executive Officer, Prof Godswill Obioma, on Tuesday.
The statement read in part, “NECO SSCE will take place on
Monday 5th October 2020 to Wednesday 18th November 2020 while NECO NCEE for
admission of JSS1 students into Federal Unity Colleges will hold on Saturday
17th October 2020.
“In addition, NECO has scheduled the Basic Education Certificate Examinations (re-sit) to take place on Wednesday 11th and Thursday 12th November 2020 for the prescribed relevant subjects.
“The BECE for JSS 3 students will start on August 24 and end
on September 7.
“The National
Business and Technical Examination Board examinations will start on September
21 and end on October 15.”
It added that the BECE timetable was compressed to terminate
on the 4th of September to reduce cost.
The Registrar said the examination body has prepared a
manual on guidelines for the preparation of school for the conduct of public
examinations in the context of COVID-19 which covers five areas.
He added that “NECO has put in place special measures for
its BECE, SSCE, and NCEE this year”, adding that “the measures will ensure
appropriate standards and excellence before, during and after the
examinations”.
Among the measures include the signing of an oath of
allegiance by everyone who will participate in the examination while the
installation and use of special CCTV cameras in all examination centres and
custodian points are being explored.
