The Minister of Education,
Professor Rukayyatu Rufai was summoned by the House of Representatives over
the planned conduct of computer based test for the 2013 Unified Tertiary
Matriculation Examination (UTME) by the Joint Admission Matriculation and
Examination Board (JAMB).
Prof. Rufai’s led Ministry of
Education was directed to suspend the computer-based test planned for April
this year and revert back to the use of old existing centres and the new
secondary schools constructed by various arms of government.
Reason is: to give more time
to equip these schools with necessary infrastructure to conduct computer test.
The motion was sponsored by Hon.
Ali Madaki, from Kano State.
Rukayyatu is expected to appear
before the House Committee on Education, alongside the JAMB Registrar in other
to explain the “reason behind the policy somersault that led to change in takes
off of the policy from 2015 to 2013; the law that empowers JAMB to contract out
the conduct of examination to private firms? And who the firms are.”
(Btw, refresh for new stories)!
