A statement to this effect issued on Sunday by the Federal Ministry of Education explained that the directive follows growing concerns over the increasing incidence of examination malpractice, including the use of so-called special centres during external examinations, which undermine the integrity and credibility of Nigeria’s education system.
According to the ministry, the policy will take effect from the 2026/27 academic session, with admissions and transfers now restricted strictly to Senior Secondary School One (SS1) and Senior Secondary School Two (SS2).
Admission or transfer into SS3, according to the statement released by the ministry’s Director of Press and Public Relations, Folasade Boriowo, “will no longer be permitted under any circumstance.”
The ministry explained that the measure is aimed at discouraging last-minute movement of students for examination-related advantages, ensuring proper academic monitoring, and promoting continuity in teaching and learning.
“School proprietors, principals, and administrators nationwide have been directed to comply fully with the policy, as any violation will attract appropriate sanctions in line with existing education regulations and guidelines,” it said.
The Federal Ministry of Education reaffirmed the Federal Government’s commitment to maintaining academic standards, promoting fairness, and restoring credibility to public examinations across the country, it added.
