Minister of Education, Dr Tunji Alausa
The Federal Government will soon phase out the common entrance examination for pupils moving from primary school to junior secondary school (JSS), the Minister of Education, Dr Tunji Alausa, has disclosed.
Speaking during an interactive session with journalists in Lagos, Alausa said the examination would be replaced by a Continuous Assessment (CA) system, which will reflect a pupil’s performance from primary one and travel with them even if they transfer schools.
“It will be replaced by Continuous Assessment, CA. The CA will reflect the performance of the pupil from primary one, and even if a pupil is transferring from one school to another, he will take it along to his new school,” he explained.
The minister also highlighted that the government is introducing a Learner Identification Number (LIN) for all school children from primary level, enabling authorities to track students’ academic progress and ensure higher completion rates as pupils advance to senior secondary school.
He added that the government is working to revive the school feeding programme, which will be moved from the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs to the Federal Ministry of Education for proper monitoring, as part of efforts to attract more pupils to public schools.
