UTME: FG to introduce e-examination


Federal government has said the next major initiative towards improving the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examinations (UTME) conducted by the Joint Admissions Matriculation Board (JAMB) is the introduction of electronic- examination system.

Minister of Education Professor Ruqayyatu Ahmed Rufa’i said this yesterday while addressing the 58th Ministerial Session of the National Council on Education (NCE) at the International Conference Centre in Abuja.

Professor Ruqayyatu implored states including the Federal Capital Territory to acquire the necessary ICT infrastructure and conduct capacity building programmes for teachers to guarantee computer literacy of students.

She said the use of biometric technology in the 2011 UTME checkmated the trend of impersonation and fraudulent registration of candidates in the examination.

“In order to address the observed delay in the verification of candidates in the examination centres, the Board has deployed improved biometric machines that are faster than the earlier ones and would take only 30 – 40 minutes to verify the entire 540 candidates registered in each centre.  The Board has also increased its examination towns from 328 to 379 and examination centres from 2,872 to 3,052 to bring the examination closer to the candidates,” she said.

The Minister said the theme for this year’s meeting which is Re-engineering Teacher Education and Development for Quality Service Delivery will draw the attention of policy makers and other stakeholders to the importance of teachers in human capital development.

NCE is the highest decision making body in the education sector consisting of state commissioners for education, state agencies for education, civil society organizations and the Federal Ministry of Education.

Don't be afraid it won't be used this year. For now, it is still a proposal. So, continue with your planned "runs"!
