The Joint Universities Preliminary Examinations Board (JUPEB) has recently released new dates for student’s resumption, duration of lectures, period of revision and examination as it is also set to release timetable.
The body in a letter recently issued to all Universities Vice-Chancellors as obtained by GGB reporters said;
“Prior to the release of examination dates by the federal government for all Government owned National Examination bodies on July 29, 2020 , the JUPEB authorities have been in touch with the Ministry of Education. Following this, we have been able to come in with the examination schedule for the JUPEB 2020 Examinations.”
JUPEB said that “the examination dates have been fixed to hold from Monday, September 7 to Friday September 18, 2020” and will be preceded “with a four-week revision from August 10 to September 4, 2020”.
While instructing all Vice Chancellors, the body said “each JUPEB Centre is expected to adequately and sufficiently manage situations during the revision weeks and the examination period. Each Centre is at liberty to either continue with the online teaching or allow the students to come to school in batches to avoid all the students on the school premises at the same time” adding that “the Government will be monitoring our activities and no Centre should give room for any negative report that will indict JUPEB programmes”.
They further revealed that the examination timetable will be released by Friday, August 7 together with instructions to Practicals and oral papers, as guild lines towards achieving successful examinations and reducing the spread of the CoronaVirus among students were also given.
