NECO digitalises recruitment of exam supervisors

The National Examinations Council (NECO) has digitalized the recruitment process for Examination Supervisors and Assistant Supervisors for the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) and the Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE), Internal and External.

NECO said the digitalisation is to check sharp practices in the recruitment process and enhance efficiency and effective service delivery.

This was disclosed in a statement on Sunday by the Acting Director, Information and Digital Communication of the examination body, Azeez Sani.

He said the process which involves migration from the manual recruitment of Supervisors and Assistant Supervisors to an online system, would ensure that supervisors’ nomination forms, appointment letters, and pe-photo albums are generated online.

“Also, routine swapping of Supervisors and Assistant Supervisors during the examination would be done online,” Sani said.

“Interested qualified teachers with NCE, Degree Certificate, Master Degrees and PhD are eligible to apply as Supervisors and Assistant Supervisors for BECE or SSCE Internal or External.”

The Guardian reports that before the digitalization system, recruitment of Supervisors and Assistant Supervisors was done manually by the Council.
