The Federal Government on Wednesday expressed satisfaction with the conduct of the ongoing National Examinations Council school-based Senior School Certificate Examination.
It described the Computer-Based Test format as a major milestone in efforts to eliminate examination malpractice and improve the quality of secondary education across the country.
The Minister of State for Education, Prof. Suwaiba Ahmad, stated this after monitoring the examination at Redeemers Teap International School, Garki II, and Anglican Girls’ Grammar School, Gudu, Abuja.
Prof. Ahmad said the monitoring exercise showed that candidates had embraced the CBT format, with most students describing it as easier to use and more convenient than the traditional paper-based examination.
“My assessment of the examination is that I’m very happy because from what I have seen in the two centres that I visited, the students are writing the CBT examination and they are happy. The setting for the examination is excellent,” she said.
