The Parents Teachers Association (PTA) of Government Secondary School Makera in Kaduna, has urged the Kaduna State Government to register the school as examination centre for Senior Secondary School Certificate Examinations.
Alhaji Mohammadu Musa, the PTA Chairman, made the call in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Friday in Kaduna.
Musa explained that students from the school, established seven years ago, had to register and sit for WAEC and NECO elsewhere.
He said for the past three years, all the students that went through the school had to be registered with other schools to enable them sit for the examinations.
“Currently, another set of 250 students will be ready for the examination next year.
“If the centre is not provided, we will have to register them elsewhere to sit for the WAEC examination,“ Musa said.
According to him, the PTA had written to the state Ministry for Education to facilitate the registration process.
“The ministry replied us that we will have to make provision for examination hall, library and laboratories.
“As am talking to you now, the government has provided the school with a laboratory and the PTA on its own part built examination hall and provided a class to serve as library.
“We are going back to notify the ministry that the PTA, with support from the school’s community, has provided all the necessary facilities needed for the centre,“ he said.
The Chairman, who is also the Village Head of Down Quarter area, therefore, appealed to the state government to fast track the registration of the school.
“We are appealing to the state government to come to our rescue because we cannot do it alone.
“We have contributed our quota as PTA and community and we will continue to do the best we can to ensure quality education in the school.
“Our children have suffered enough, having been forced to go to other schools to sit for WAEC and NECO examinations.
“Providing the school with the centre would go a long way in reducing their pains,“ the chairman said. (NAN)
