Protest: OYO TESCOM Adjusts CBT Timetable

The Oyo State Post Primary Teaching Service Commission, TESCOM, has revised timetable for the Computer-based tests coming up next week.

The development came on the heels of the envisaged nationwide protest, that may commence on August 1, 2024.

Recall that the Chairman TESCOM, Pastor Akinade Alamu, in Ibadan, announced that the CBT examination for job seekers was fixed for July 29- August 2, 2024.

Alamu however said to forestall any unforeseen circumstances, the Commission and its partnering agencies, including the management of the University of Ibadan DLC, agreed to compress the examination days to three.

He therefore announced that the examination will commence on Monday, July 29, 2024- July 31, 2024.

Pastor Alamu maintained that all arrangements have been made, with relevant stakeholders, adding that the change will not pose any threat to the candidates.

He added that the management of DLC agreed to provide more facilities, men and logistics to the already provided support.

The TESCOM chair said: “after a tripartite meeting among all relevant stakeholders, DLC has agreed to provide more halls, Computers, 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 Englich, Mathematics, French, Commerce, Chemistry and Business Studies.

Tuesday: English Language, Finance and Accounting, Government, Economic, Computer Science, Guardians and Conselling, Physis and Music.

Wednesday: Agric Science, Arabic Studies, Social Studies Business Science and Technology, Technical Drawing, Fine Arts, Yoruba, Geography, History, Home Economic and Nutrition, and physical health education.
