The Federal Government has called on resuming Junior Secondary School (JSS) 3 and Senior Secondary School (SSS) 3 students that are yet to pay their third term school fees to do so without delay.

Schools were shut down across the country in March 2020 to guard against the spread of COVID-19, resulting in massive disruption of the normal third term’s academic activities.

But the Federal Government, which has 104 colleges (Unity Schools) spread across the country, said students in exit classes- JSS3 and SSS 3, who are expected to resume on Monday (today) will show evidence of school fees payment for the abridged term.

“A lot of issues have been raised, especially on whether or not students are to pay third term school fees, and whether JSS 3 will have to resume on Monday. The answer to both questions is yes.

“Resuming students are to pay their third term fees where they have not yet paid. JSS 3 students are also to resume in school as from Monday so they can do their revision preparatory to their exams. We have to make these clarifications quickly because Monday is the reopening date,” a terse statement by the Director of Public Relations, Federal Ministry of Education, Mr Ben Goong, said.

The Ministry had on Wednesday issued a statement in Abuja detailing various dates for earlier suspended national examinations.

Part of the statement read: “The West African Examination Council (WAEC-SSCE) will start on the 17th of August, 2020 while the National Business and Technical Examination Board, (NABTEB) examinations will start on the 21st September and end by 15th October, 2020.

“Other details of the schedule indicate that the Senior Secondary School Certificate Examination (SSCE) for SS3, conducted by NECO will start on the 5th of October and end on 18th of November, 2020.

“The Basic Education Certificate Examinations, (BECE) for JSS 3 also conducted by NECO, will start on the 24th of August and end on the 7th of September, 2020.

“Furthermore, the National Common Entrance Examination, (NCEE) which is a one-day NECO examination for intending applicants into Unity Colleges (JSS1) will run in-between the Senior Secondary Certificate Examinations i.e. on Saturday, 17th October, 2020.”

It keeps getting more funny

Are u for real FG....

God punish all our corrupt leaders most especially minister of disaster

The government suppose to waive it as palliative

No activity in 3rd term. They should pay the exam fees alone

The scene is gradually unfolding. This government get knock kneel (k-leg)

Why should they pay for what they did not learn? This government self

This has always been the norm. In fact third term fees are paid together with 2nd term fees

Wehrey

Doesn't change the fact that junior waec is useless

ABI God wan punish this FG ni, Children never even know their bearing this idiot people dey talk bout school fees

Where would they get the money from? The economy was already in disarray before the covid-19. I wish all private school teachers and proprietors well.

Parents have really suffered this period, more mouths to feed, shrinking source of income, very unstable economy, very expensive foodstuff and other market commodities. Please, with the above, how can a father save for school fees? Would you rather pay school fees and watch your family starve?

Sane countries are giving Covid-19 palliative to their citizens.

In Nigeria, the citizens are giving to the government to embezzle.

If this government was sensitive to the plight of the masses, they would've waived school fees in federal secondary schools for this year knowing a lot of people lost their jobs due to covid19

No worry, we go even pay 4th term sef...

This is why some of us here kicked against lockdown.
Lagos state government have increased everything including their own transportation service. From berger to oshodi this morning is now #250 against #150. These are some of the negative effects of lockdown. They were copying America and European countries without putting into consideration how strong economy in those countries are.
Snail dey copy wetin lion dey do.

When their papa and mama no collect salary

FG, always after the money...

Hian,why will third term fees be paid? Didn't you lockdown the parents business or work activities since March without any form of palliative?Were the students taught for third term?Why is this government insensitive to the plight of the average and poor citizens?

God will help us in this country ooooo
(anyway, parents if your child's school insist on paying for third term, just jejely put the child in another school, private schools are everywhere.

Thunder ⚡ fire.......
But I just remember say thunder don dey fire una since 1960.

Talking of school fees at this critical time . Instead of una to declare free fees for the term for FG schools.
Why am I a Nigerian?? �

But, what have I done wrong to deserve this country ?

OK naww

Again

This is serious

rubbish
