No fewer than 390 visually impaired candidates are participating in the ongoing 2019 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination organised by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board .
He told NAN that the candidates were sitting for the examination in Abuja, Enugu, Kano and Lagos centres. He said others include Economics, Geography, Government, Hausa, History, Igbo Language, Islamic Studies, Literature in English and Mathematics.“The goal of the Prof. Ishaq Oloyede-led JAMB is to ensure that no Nigerian who is eligible is prevented from taking the UTME regardless of any disability.
He told NAN that the candidates were still taking the examination through the dictation mode because the board was preparing and getting them familiarised with the mode of administering lectures in tertiary institutions. “We are currently test running the software on this platform but I can assure you that in another year or two, we will fully migrate,” Mr Okebukola told NAN.
“We hired six professional teachers to coach them for this examination, one for just braille and another for computer, bringing the total of the new teachers to eight.
