The Federal Government has banned students in Senior
Secondary School one and two from applying and taking external
West African Senior School Certificate Examination, the National Examination
Council, and National Business and Technical Examinations Board.
This was contained in a circular issued by the Federal
Ministry of Education to principals of federal unity schools.
It was titled In the circular with no:
FME/DBSE/US/DOC/III/16 and signed by the ministry’s Director Senior Secondary
Education, Hajia Binta Abdulkadir.
The circular was confirmed by the Director of Press and
Public Relations, Ben Bem Goong, on Friday.
The government threatened to expel any SSS One and Two
students who take the exams.
This, the education ministry, said would help to maintain
decorum and boost standards of education in schools.
The circular read, “The ministry’s attention has been drawn
to the flagrant disregard to its directive on (the) writing of external
examinations such as NABTEB (NTC and NBC), WASSCE, NECO (SSCE) by SS1 and SS2
students.
“Students who are involved in the practice find it difficult
to settle down on serious studies. They become unruly and distract other
students from achieving their goals.
“Any student caught to have written any of the above
examinations in SS1 or SS2 classes will be expelled from the college. All
students must write these examinations after they have been duly registered for
the examination by the college.
“All students of Federal Unity College should adhere
strictly to the content of this circular. And Principals are advised to bring
the content of this circular to the knowledge of all parents of the college.”
