“The affected papers are now scheduled for  November 17, 18 and 19 2020. The examination time table for these papers will be made available subsequently.

”These changes were due to the security challenges, which led to the imposition of curfew and closure of schools by some state governments in order to safeguard lives and  properties. In the circumstances, it has become difficult for the council to move examination materials across the country.

“The council prays that the examinations will continue on Tuesday 27 October 2020, all things being equal, with the papers as originally scheduled in the examination time table. Any inconvenience caused is highly regretted.”
