2023 SESSION OF GCE EXAMINATIONS

The Minister of Secondary Education Assesses Examination Conditions in Three Accommodation Centres in Yaounde.

The written phase of examinations organised by the GCE-Board kick started on Tuesday, 30 May 2023 nationwide on a satisfactory note.

On this occasion, Secondary Education Minister, Prof Nalova Lyonga flanked by Boniface Bayaola, Secretary of State in the Ministry of Secondary Education in charge of Teachers’ Training, visited 3 centres accommodating candidates for the GCE-Advanced and Ordinary Levels for the 2023 session.

Government Bilingual Practising High School Yaounde (LBA), Government Bilingual High School Ekounou and Government Bilingual High School Nkol-Eton are the three centres visited by MINESEC officials.

The minister and her delegation were particularly interested in the provisions made to safely accommodate candidates with special needs. They checked hygiene and sanitation conditions in these centres, paying attention to examination halls to make sure they were conducive for all candidates. The main recommendations made were to preserve a healthy environment in all accommodation centres, improve the reception conditions for candidates with special needs and not allow candidates in full-term pregnancy to sit in for the exams.

“Overall, all the exams are going on well. So we are quite happy”, Prof Nalova Lyonga said at the end of the tour.
