The Oyo State Teaching Service Commission (TESCOM) has announced changes to the Computer-Based Test (CBT) examination time-table for teacher recruitment in the state, ahead of a nationwide protest planned for August 1.
Recall that the Chairman TESCOM, Pastor Akinade Alamu, in Ibadan, announced that the CBT examination for job seekers was fixed for 29 July to 2 August 2024.
Alamu, during a press briefing on Friday evening, however, said to forestall any unforeseen circumstances, the commission and its partnering agencies, including the management of the University of Ibadan DLC, agreed to compress the examination days to three.
He, therefore, announced that the examination will commence on Monday, July 29, 2024- July 31, 2024.
Pastor Alamu maintained that all arrangements have been made, with relevant stakeholders, adding that the change will not pose any threat to the candidates.
He added that the management of the University of Ibadan DLC agreed to provide more facilities, men and logistics to the already provided support.
The TESCOM chair said: “After a tripartite meeting among all relevant stakeholders, DLC has agreed to provide more halls, Computers, facilities, so that the test can spread across three days.”
He, therefore, appealed to candidates to regularly check their phones, as texts and emails are being sent to them already.
Alamu stressed that the revised timetable is on the Oyo State job portal.
The scheduled days and examination are:
Monday: Biology, Islamic Religion Studies, Christian Religious Studies, Literature in Englich, Mathematics, French, Commerce, Chemistry and Business Studies.
