FG Insists Mathematics Remains Mandatory for all O-Level Students.

FG Insists Mathematics Remains Mandatory for all O-Level Students.

Recall that earlier in the week, Boriowo announced that students in the arts and humanities would no longer be required to present a credit in Mathematics in their Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE) for tertiary admission.

The announcement sparked mixed reactions from education stakeholders, with many arguing that the policy could weaken academic standards and promote laxity among students.

However, in the latest statement, Boriowo explained that while the revised admission guidelines allow certain tertiary institutions to admit candidates into specific programmes without a compulsory credit in Mathematics or English, all students must register and sit for both subjects during their O-Level examinations.
