Oyo State government, on Tuesday, announced a shift in the Common Entrance examination into public Schools of Science in the state from Wednesday, 19 August to Tuesday, 1 September, 2020.
The shift, according to the state Commissioner of Education, Science and Technology, Olasunkanmi Olaleye, was because of a clash of the examination date with the ongoing West African School Certificate Examination (WASSCE), with students expected to write Economics and Agricultural Science in the 2020 West African Examination Council (WAEC).
Also, the date of the screening test for placement of pupils in terminal classes in public and private primary schools into Junior Secondary School 1(JSS1) in the state has been shifted from Thursday, 20 August to Saturday, 22 August, 2020 due to another clash of the date of the exercise with another WAEC subject.
“All parents and guidance are advised to note these changes and prepare their wards for the exercise at the stipulated periods with strict compliance with the State’s covid-19 protocols,” the commissioner advised.
