Oyo State Post Primary Teaching Service Commission, TESCOM, has revised next week’s computer-based test timetable.
Prince Dotun Oyelade, Commissioner for Information and Orientation said the development came on the heels of the envisaged nationwide protest that may commence on August 1, 2024.
TESCOM chairman Pastor Akinade Alamu announced in Ibadan that the CBT examination for job seekers was fixed for July 29- August 2, 2024.
However, he now says that to forestall any unforeseen circumstances, the Commission and its partnering agencies, including the University of Ibadan DLC management, agreed to compress the examination days to three.
The examination will be held between Monday, July 29, and July 31, 2024.
Alamu maintained that all arrangements have been made, with relevant stakeholders, adding that the change will not threaten the candidates.
He added that the management of DLC agreed to provide more facilities, men, and logistics to the ready support.
The TESCOM chair said: “After a tripartite meeting among all relevant stakeholders, DLC has agreed to provide more halls, Computers, and facilities, so that the test can spread across three days.”
He therefore appealed to candidates to regularly check their phones, as texts and emails are being sent to them already.
Alamu stressed that the revised timetable is on the Oyo State job portal.
The scheduled days and examination are:
Monday: Biology, Islamic Religion Studies, Christian Religious Studies, Literature in English, Mathematics, French, Commerce, Chemistry and Business Studies.
Tuesday: English Language, Finance and Accounting, Government, Economics, Computer Science, Guidance and Counselling, Physics, and Music.
Wednesday: Agricultural Science, Arabic Studies, Social Studies, Business Science and Technology, Technical Drawing, Fine Arts, Yoruba, Geography, History, Home Economics and Nutrition, and Physical Health Education.
