This is contrary to the existing policy where students were compelled to register more than seven subjects per sitting even though, he or she needed three or four subjects to remedy his or her result.
Minister of State for Education, Mr Kenneth Gbagi, who made this known in a statement he personally signed in Abuja, on Thursday, said the new policy took effect from the November/December 2011, registration for the examinations.
He also said the registration fee paid to WAEC, NECO and NABTEB for November/December examinations for external candidates had nothing to do with the number of subjects that the candidate was to sit for.
Gbagi in the statement entitled: “Conduct of November/December examinations by WAEC, NECO and NABTEB” said: “The general public is hereby informed that the registration fee paid to WAEC, NECO and NABTEB for November/December Examinations for external candidates has nothing to do with the number of subjects that the candidate is to sit for.
“The Federal Ministry of Education has directed that as from November/ December 2011, a candidate is at liberty to register only for the subjects he or she requires,” the minister said.
