Five new Surveyors were recognised for passing the the 2015 Sworn Land and Survey Examination in a simple graduation ceremony, earlier today, GINA said. They were reminded of the importance of integrity and service with humility as they venture into their new careers. This call to the five, who took their oath of office at the ceremony, came from Minister of State, Joseph Harmon, as he delivered the charge, GINA said. The Sworn Lands and Survey examination is administered under the Land Surveyors (Profession) Act No. 4 of 2014.
Even as he congratulated the new surveyors, the Minister pointed out that there is a need for a review of this process, as the current 15 percent pass rate for the examination is not acceptable. A total of 32 persons wrote the examination. However, only five passed.
