It has also, in collaboration with a private institute, resolved to set up dedicated UTME centres for visually impaired candidates in Abuja, Lagos and Kano in 2018.
Registrar of the board, Prof. Is-haq Olanrewaju Oloyede, who said this in Kaduna yesterday, however, said the board would not revert to the old paper and pencil mode, but an “eight-key device”.
Oloyede said the device would eradicate the challenge of low computer literacy and phobia for mouse by some candidates.
He said: “From the general feedback on the adoption of the Computer-Based Test mode, we have noted the challenge of computer low level literacy of some candidates, especially with the phobia for the mouse. This has been responsible partly for the call by some people for reversal to the Paper and Pencil Test mode.
“To ensure equity and level playground for all candidates taking Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, the board has designed a system that will allow candidates use only eight keys without the use of mouse. All the candidates need to do is to press the letters A, B, C, D for responses to questions and keys: P, N, S and R representing; previous question, next question, submit and reverse, respectively.”

ReplyDeleteNigeria, a nation on perpetual self deceit. In a country where a student needs 3marks to enter the unity school because he is from somewhere in the north and another needs 30 marks to enter the same school and same class, and knowing that irrespective of any pretensions, young people from the south are more computer-savvy than young oeioke from the north, I begin to wonder how kids from the north passed jamb these past years of cbts
ReplyDeleteI am of the firm beleif that these rules are not for Nigerian kids but for 'Nigerian kids from the south and middle belt' as a way of reducing the number admitted yearly
