ATSO is a registered non-governmental organization with the core mandate of restoring integrity& positive value orientation to the educational sector in Nigeria
We also urge focus, restraint & total sense of purpose to ensure that our ranks as youths driving this movement are not infiltrated by agents of distraction. #EndSARS#EndBadGovernance
The National Executive Council and members of the Association of Tutorial School Operators (ATSO) reiterate our total support for the ongoing protests to end police brutality and all forms of ills in our nation. #EndSARS#EndBadGovernance
We support proper consultation and collaboration between WAEC and the Ministry of education to ensure proper and safe scheduling of exam papers, taking COVID 19 into consideration. We trust the judgement of the HME to do the needful to promote education in Nigeria.
Outright cancellation of the exams in 2020 might put the educational careers of the students in jeopardy. More so, most of them wrote the UTME while awaiting to write WAEC and NECO and secure admission to tertiary institutions with the results.
However, our stand on this still remains as we have earlier posited. The terminal exams can and should be conducted in the midst of tight safety measures and strict protocols as put in place in other sectors of the economy that have since began operations.
In the face of the recent pronouncement by the Honorable Minister for Education that WAEC will no longer start on the 4th of August, as against the earlier briefing by the Minister of State, ATSO wishes to first commend the concern of the HME for the safety of Nigerian students.
All centers must be ready to comply fully with government directives and NCDC protocols at short notice once the lockdown on schools and academic centers is fully lifted.
All centers are to remain closed for now & zonal chairmen are to continue monitoring strict compliance.
All members of the Association of Tutorial School Operators (ATSO) should keep monitoring government positions concerning the safe reopening of schools and academic centers.
@sunrisedailynow@channelstv With utmost concern for health as the priority, measures can be put in place to ensure safety without shutting down the career of the students for ever. The same safety measures that are being adopted in every other sector can be extended to schools.
@sunrisedailynow Our position is that government should place the concern for the health of the students above every other consideration. However, since it has been postulated that COVID 19 is going to be around for a while, the whole process of reopening can be guided and managed
The grand finale is slated for Thursday 27th February at the FCE Akoka in Lagos. The overall winner of the thorough and rigorous contest shall be adjudged the best student in Nigeria and shall go home with a brand new car and #200k worth of scholarship package.
The preliminary rounds of exam begin by 12pm today in designated centers. It is opened to all candidates within the ages of 15 and 21 who are not yet undergraduates in any tertiary institution.
The preliminary rounds of examination for the MOST BRILLIANT STUDENT IN NIGERIA organized by the Association of Tutorial School Operators (ATSO) will take place today in designated centers across Nigeria. It is opened to all candidates preparing for the UTME and other exams.
@JAMBHQ Data collection is a sine qua non for developmental projections. So, NIN for secondary school leavers is a step in the right direction. The registration period for UTME2020 should however be long enough to ensure every prospective candidate is captured for NIN & register for UTME
The adoption of the National Identification Number (NIN) is not a unilateral decision of JAMB. It is a directive of the Federal Government for the Board and all other agencies of government to streamline their data collection.
Hello, please note that Candidates are NOT allowed to register for both UTME and DE. If a candidate registers for UTME and has additional qualification(s) for DE, there is provision for such candidate to upgrade.
