The Education Resource Centre (ERC), under the FCT Education Secretariat, has successfully conducted the Science Placement Examination for prospective students seeking admission into Science and Technical Schools in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

The examination, which was conducted at designated centres across the territory, is part of the FCT Administration’s efforts to provide qualified students with opportunities to pursue science and technical education and develop the knowledge and skills required for future academic and professional pursuits.

Speaking during the monitoring of the examination, the director, Education Resource Centre, Dr. Neemat Daud Abdulrahim, said the exercise was conducted in an orderly and well-coordinated manner, with the centre putting in place appropriate arrangements to ensure the smooth administration and effective monitoring of the examination.

She stated that the centre had strengthened its examination management and monitoring processes to ensure that candidates were provided with suitable examination environments and that the exercise was conducted in accordance with established guidelines.

Dr. Abdulrahim also acknowledged the positive impact of the ongoing renovation and improvement of public school facilities by the Hon. Minister, FCT, Nyesom Ezenwa Wike, on the conduct of examinations.

She noted that the renovation of school halls in some public schools had provided larger and more conducive spaces for examinations, making it possible for the centre to consolidate examination centre’s and reduce the number of schools required for the exercise compared with previous years.

“Previously, examinations were conducted in more than 16 school centres, which made monitoring more demanding, as our teams had to move from one school to another across different locations,” she said.
