While assuring the candidates that results of the exercise would be ready next week, he said parents of the successful applicants will be notified through short message (SMS) to the phone number supplied by them.

According to the Permanent Secretary, the screening test was also aimed at creating a free level playing ground for the students, noting that the improved performance by students in public schools has attracted more candidates to seek admission into the State’s public primary and secondary schools.
Parents present at the examination centres at different locations in the State’ especially Districts 4 & 6, expressed gratitude to the Government for the transparency and equal opportunity availed every eligible student to participate in the screening exercise.A number of the candidates also hinged their willingness to transfer from private to public schools on the improved educational standards in government institutions as well as the inability of their parents to afford the high tuition fees in private schools anymore.
