MONROVIA, Feb. 2 (LINA) – The Ministry of Education (MoE) has issued guidelines and criteria of eligibility that all senior high school students must pass any three subjects in the West African Secondary Schools Certificate Examinations (WASSCE) to take part in a graduation ceremony.
The Ministry also said no senior high school authority or administrator should deny any senior student from sitting the West African Secondary Schools Certificate Examinations (WAASSCE), due to tuition arrears or project fees in the school.
A press statement by the MoE said all public senior high school 12th graders are urged to attend the Tutorial Classes organized by the Ministry of Education and funded by the Government of Liberia for better performance in the upcoming WASSCE.
It said in the same vein, all private schools are encouraged to conduct Tutorial Classes for their 12th graders.
“Absolutely, there should be no collection of “flexibility fees” and “camping” for the upcoming WASSCE 2019/2020. The Government of Liberia will continue to pay all WASSCE fees for all 12th Graders in both public and private schools, therefore no school administrator should collect WASSCE fee from any student nation-wide, the Education Ministry said.
It further ruled that “there shall be NO collection of graduation fees before the release of the WASSCE results. Also, no high school, both public and private, should have any form of graduation (Thanksgiving, Honoring Program, etc.), before the release of the WASSCE results.
Thee MoE also sais “all senior high school administrators and proprietors are therefore advised to adhere to the above instructions and directive from the Ministry of Education, for better coordination and improved learning outcomes for a better Liberia, as we strive for excellence in our educational sector.
