JAMB denies banning undergraduates from 2026 UTME

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has denied reports that undergraduates have been barred from registering for the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination and Direct Entry. JAMB spokesperson, Dr Fabian Benjamin, said in a statement in Abuja that the rumour was a false interpretation of its guidelines by self-styled education advocates seeking online attention. He explained that the 2026 UTME and DE advertisement only directs candidates to state their current admission status during registration. Benjamin stressed that it is not an offence for a student already admitted into any institution to register for UTME or Direct Entry again. However, he said candidates must truthfully disclose that they are already matriculated, in line with JAMB’s duty to prevent multiple admissions. He noted that once a candidate secures a fresh admission after proper disclosure, the previous admission automatically becomes invalid. Under Nigeria’s […]

GNAT President links rising basic school exam failures to politics and delayed capitation grants

The President of the Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT), Rev. Isaac Owusu, says the growing rate of exam failures among basic school pupils is tied to the heavy politicisation of education and persistent delays in releasing the capitation grant. Speaking on Adom FM’s Dwaso Nsem, he argued that government alone cannot run basic education effectively without meaningful support from parents. He added that moves to restrict Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) contributions have only made conditions in schools worse. Rev. Owusu explained that the capitation grant is nowhere near enough to fund school operations, considering that it has to cover exams, sports, meetings, minor repairs, and teaching materials. He revealed that no basic school receives more than GH₵1,500 per term, which creates serious challenges for schools trying to provide quality education. He warned that pupils will continue to struggle in WAEC […]
