The Kwara government has released the results of the 2021 Common Entrance and Basic Education Certificate (BECE) Examinations.
Sa’adatu Modibbo-Kawu, the Commissioner for Education and Human Capital Development, disclosed this during the presentation of results by the Directorate of Curriculum and Assessment in her office on Tuesday in Ilorin.
The results are ready for collection at the ministry’s headquarters, Ilorin.
Ms Modibbo-Kawu urged principals to visit the directorate to collect scratch cards to check the students’ results.
”I have the honour to inform the general public that the results of both Common Entrance and BECE are ready for collection. Principals should visit the Curriculum and Assessment Directorate for the collection of scratch cards that will be used to check the students’ results,” explained Ms Modibbo-Kawu. “The scratch cards are free, and no principal should charge any fees from parents and guardians. Any principal found wanting will be dealt with in accordance with Civil Service rules.”
The President of the All Nigeria Confederation of Principals of Secondary Schools, Toyin Abdullahi, commended the ministry’s efforts in releasing the results on time.
”This is the first time since I assumed office as ANCOPSS President that the results of Common Entrance and BECE will come out in the first week of resumption for Academic session,” he noted.
