The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has said it is introducing two new science subjects for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination.
The Registrar of JAMB, Prof Ishaq Oloyede, stated this on Saturday in Abuja.
In this article we would be looking at the new subjects added by JAMB: computer science, Physical health education.
The new subjects added are:
Computer Science
Physical Health Education
“We are asking and sensitizing the public, particularly the students, who are to take the exam, that these are two science subjects that will be added to their choice to widen opportunities for candidates to be able to access tertiary education,” Oloyede stated.
Prof Ishaq touched on other things, such as the board’s efforts to clear the backlog of illegal admissions by universities, polytechnics, colleges of education and other such institutions across the country.
On JAMB 2022
The registrar noted that a cashless registration system was adopted for 2022 JAMB UTME. According to him, JAMB would equally prohibit Computer-based Test (CBT) Centres from selling e-PINs to guard against the extortion of candidates.
The newly added subjects make perfect sense, in my opinion. Those are important subjects, especially in this internet/computer age.
I hope you find this article helpful as well as interesting.
