FG permits Schools to write Third Term Examination
Minister of State for Education, Emeka Nwajiuba has announced that private schools that run international curriculum are free to conduct their third term examinations online.
He said this while speaking during the daily briefing of the Presidential taskforce on COVID-19 on Monday.
According to the minister, this had become necessary, as there were private schools licenced to run foreign curriculum, especially for children of expatriates and diplomats.
“Private Schools that run International Curriculum are free to conduct their third term examinations online. There are private schools licensed to run foreign curriculum essentially for children of expatriates and diplomats.
“If such schools are able to host online classes for the curriculum they operate and they choose to use the period to cover their syllabus, it is permitted,” the Minister said.
This is not a breakthrough towards school resumption as this is only concerned about the private education….what happens to our kids in public system
The government should find a way of sending all back to school
I don’t think this online exam is going to work
What of those who are not operating or run international curriculum, what is going to be their fate. They should look for a way out in other to open the one that’s not operating international curriculum.
Do these schools need permision to write exam online. Since they are private schools they are free to write their exam online. If our educational system is in line with world standard, they all should be writing their third term exams too. With this government should know it that they are lagging behind in standard of education
