Latest on exam deadline, schools

registration is today. This comes as Education, Sport, Arts and Culture Minister David Coltart yesterday warned schools against barring pupils from registering saying everyone who had gone through the school curriculum had a right to register as a candidate. Minister Coltart said Government would punish any school authorities who deny children the right to register.

“Every child who has gone through the required stages should be allowed to sit for the examinations,” he said.

“Reports that some are being turned away are unacceptable because there is no law in the ministry which bars pupils from paying examination fees simply because they have not paid their tuition fees.

This is a critical stage in the life of the pupil and no prospective pupil should be denied the right to register.”
He said parents in school fees arrears should work out payment plans with school authorities.
