Oyo Govt mandates unified examination timetable for public primary schools

The Oyo State Government has instructed public primary schools in the state to follow the unified examination time-table.

The Chairman of Oyo State Universal Basic Education Board (OYOSUBEB),  Dr. Nureni Adeniran, made this known during a monitoring exercise of the first term unified examination in some schools in Ibadan.

The examination, which began on Wednesday, is expected to end on Friday.

The government’s directive is aimed at ensuring that all public primary schools in the state adhere strictly to the laid-down examination time-table.

Dr. Adeniran said the motive was to ensure the simultaneous participation of all schools in the examination.

The OYOSUBEB chairman also warned against all forms of malpractices, saying “excuses will not be accepted from any school teacher caught in the act of aiding examination malpractices.”

He said, “We have gone round some schools, and we appeal to school head teachers to ensure adherence to the time-table given to them by the state government.”

While inspecting schools in Ibadan North-East and Ibadan South-West Local Government Areas, Adeniran noted that the level of preparedness of schools and students was quite impressive.

While he applauded the smooth conduct of the exercise in the schools monitored, Adeniran also solicited the continued support of all concerned stakeholders for success in the education sector.

Some of the schools visited included Abadina Basic Schools 1 and 2, Army Children’s School, and St. Brigids Convent School at Mokola in Ibadan.
