The Registrar of Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board Prof. Is’haq O. Oloyede, has ordered all CBT Centres across the country not to allow parents/guardians into the registration hall again.
Prof Oloyede said the decision was made after inspecting some of the registration centres in Kwara state which were overcrowded.
The Registrar said it has been discovered that they parents/guardians are always a distraction to both candidates and the centres, and at the same time congesting the halls by not following the Covid – 19 protocols.
Prof. Oloyede also advised the parents/guardians to stop pushing the education of their wards faster than necessary.
“For example a fourteen (14) or fifteen (15) year old are not matured enough to undergo the process of registration and University pressure and are vulnerable to exploitation by scammers out there” he said.
He also advised the State Ministry of Education and relevant Stake Holders who are saddled with the responsibility of enrollment of students into secondary schools to always ascertain the students true age before admittance into secondary schools.
