…Oloyede applauds Sierra Leone’s inclusive reform drive
As Sierra Leone seeks to modernise admissions into its tertiary institutions, the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has pledged support for the country’s proposed centralised, tech-driven system, citing its potential to enhance credibility, fairness, and operational efficiency.
JAMB pledged a high-level stakeholder engagement organised by Sierra Leone’s Ministry of Technical and Higher Education (MTHE) in Freetown.
Fabian Benjamin, JAMB’s public communication advisor, disclosed this in a statement, when he said the engagement followed a recent visit by a Sierra Leonean delegation led by Sarjoh Aziz-Kamara, the deputy minister of technical and higher education to Nigeria, where they understudied the operations of Nigeria’s centralised admissions framework during JAMB’s annual policy meeting.
The visit subsequently led to the approval of a technical support mission by the Nigerian ministry of education to assist Sierra Leone in designing and implementing its own admissions system.
