allowed to register students for the Year 2018 West African School
Certificate Examination (WASCE).

impending Education Policy review by the State and urged them to prepare
a position paper and submit to the Ministry for consideration before
the proposed stakeholders meeting schedule to hold soon.
The Deputy Governor implored the various
School Proprietors’ Associations to mobilize, sensitize and enlighten
their members to take advantage of the seamless schools’ registration
policy to prevent the imminent shut down of non-compliant schools,
noting that the moratorium deadline is July 2018.
