Educational news reaching us here today, is that the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (Jamb) has promise and vowed to stop all form of Paper Pencil Test (PPT) in year 2015.
This information was made know to our correspondent by the JAMB Registrar, Professor Dibu Ojerinde, who said on Saturday, after observing the maiden Computer Based Testing for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
We received information that while observing the maiden computer base test UTME exam, Prof. Ojerinde, reveal that he was very exultant with the results of the CBT, added that other forms of examination would be scrapped by 2015, and this is to say that all PPT/DBT exams will close down in year 2013.
According to the jamb registrar words, “We are thinking of 2015.
Because by 2015 registration, we will be asking candidates to go fully into Computer Based Testing but that again depends on availability of centres in Nigeria.
Professor Dibu went further ahead to say that For now, we have only 70 centres all over the country and this is not sufficient.
We are encouraging as many individuals, who can participate in this project to go and build their centres then we will patronise them.
But if it has to go beyond it, so be it.
The Jamb registrar also believed that jamb board are flexible, that is why they want to see how far everybody is able to cope with it.
Professor Dibu Ojerinde also disclosed that, over 227,000 UTME results withheld for lack of Biometric Data Verification had been released to after scrutiny.
According to the Professor, he saud that they have scrutinised the results and that they have found out that some of the supervisors were over zealous and some investigators also misbehaved.
They did not allow the children to do the biometrics and they allowed them to write examination. For those with genuine cases, we have released their results.
