WAEC Set to  Release  2023 SSCE Results

The Federal Government has given condition to the policy announced last month over the age restrictions placed on students willing to write terminal exams in their respective secondary schools stating that, exceptionally intelligent children below 18 years may be allowed to write the West African School Certificate Examinations, WASCE and the National Examinations Council, NECO Examinations.

Minister of Education, Prof. Tahir Mamman, disclosed this, Thursday during a tour of the Federal Government Academy, Suleja.

“It may not and we are going to develop criteria to guide what we will call Gifted children”, he said while answering questions on the government’s plans for gifted children given the new education policy of the government that sets age limits for candidates writing WASCE and NECO examinations.

Addressing reporters after the tour of the school, also known as the National School for the Gifted, alongside Minister of State for Education, Dr. Tanko Sununu, Prof. Mamman announced an extension of the resumption date for students of Federal Government Academy, Suleja by two weeks.

He explained that the decision was due to ongoing renovations in the school.

According to him, students would not be allowed to resume an environment that was unconducive for learning.

Instead of resuming with other Federal government colleges on Sunday, the 8th of September, students may now resume on the 18th barring any unforeseen circumstances.

He said: “We cannot have this young children here when there is work ongoing. The plumbing facility, showers, water and everything are a bit unstructured because of the ongoing work so the facility needs to be ready.

“We have granted 10 days which is the embodiment of two weeks. They will make up somehow.”
