From TERESE TUHWA, Makurdi
Ahead of the commencement of the 2024 Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE) registration, the Benue State Education Quality Assurance Agency has rolled out registration guidelines for both private and public schools in the state.
The agency’s head, Dr. Terna Francis, said the decision became necessary after it discovered that schools were floating entries for registration of school candidates for the 2024 SSCE Examinations by WAEC, NECO and NEBTEB.
According to Dr. Francis, any school that is going to feature candidates for Senior School Certificates Examination (SSCE) in the state must be cleared by the agency before proceeding to register for any of the examination bodies.
The statement further directed principals and proprietors to provide attendance validating enrolment history of students sitting for the examination from SS1 to the current 2023/2024 academic session at the agency’s headquarters in Makurdi.
“All schools must have their candidates validated to ascertain the authenticity and enrolment history of the same”.
Therefore, schools must bring Attendance Registers for 2021/2022, 2022/2023 sessions to show when their candidates were in SS1 and SS2 as well as attendance registers of the current session (2023/2024).
“Schools are to provide the 2023 MOCK SSCE results of the candidates they are presenting for the exercise. In addition, all schools are to present evidence of up-to-date payment of all statutory levies before they shall be cleared”.
