A TOTAL of 7,586
Form IV leavers out of 8 ,603 who were not selected in the first batch
to
join A-level studies have been selected in the second round that will
see yet- again majority being admitted for arts and business courses.
Announcing the
selections here, Minister of State, President's Office Regional
Administration and Local Governments Mr Selemani Jafo said the state has
also re-transferred some 355 students from vocational training
institutions to A-level schools.
About 6,477 students of those selected in the second selection are boys, the minister said.
They are part of 8
,603 students who were not selected during their first batch. According
to the minister only 1,109 girls were finally lucky.
The new selection
will see 6 15 students being admitted in Science and Mathematics
combination as 6,971 go for Arts and Commerce subjects.
Unfortunately,
however, information released by the minister showed 1,017 students,
which include 172 girls and 8 45 boys, could not be selected due to low
performance rates.
"Students who have
not been selected to join A-level studies are being urged to apply for
vocational training courses offered under the National Council for
Technical Education (NACTE," he said.
He went on to add
that those who have been selected will be required to report to their
respective schools between September 6 and 20th this year.
He warned that those who may not have reported to their schools after the deadline would lose their appointment offers.
"All the joining
instructions as well as the list of students selected alongside their
schools have all been posted at the ministry portal," he said.
