303 Displaced SSCE Candidates In Bornu To Sit For Exam
The students, consisting of 202 females and 101 males, were displaced from their communities by the Boko Haram sect in northern part of Borno State after they had registered for this year’s SSCE and the National Examination Council papers.
They were among the hundreds of people presently taken refuge in camps and private residences in Maiduguri, whose number had been put at about two millions.
Kyari conducted journalists round the centre of the extra-mural classes, established at the Agency for Mass Literacy Maiduguri, on Monday.
The Ex-Chief of Staff, who is contesting the senatorial seat of Borno North on the platform of the All Progressives Congress, said the gesture was to bring the students up to date before the examinations.
He said many other students were still expected to benefit from the gesture, even as he revealed that the scheme had 45 volunteer teachers.
Kyari said the students, in the eight-week session, would be provided with a meal and uniform.
He said, “These students were selected from schools across the northern part of Borno state where the level of education has been very pathetic.
“I am from the region; I know the real situation of education there. It is only there you can find a single primary school, servicing three or four communities, whereas you can find as many as possible in one community in the southern part of the state.”
He revealed that some of the Borno North Youth Association members, who teach in some tertiary institutions in the state, volunteered to teach the students
