While assuring that all preparations have been made for the sitting of the National Grade Six Assessment on Wednesday and Thursday, the Ministry of Education yesterday announced that it would allow students the option of wearing casual clothing rather than their school uniforms.
In a press release, the Education Ministry said that NGSA candidates are not required to wear their uniforms and that casual but modest clothing could be worn instead. However, it specified that the clothing must also have little or no writing, pictures, and or diagrams that would give cause or contribute to any form of cheating.
In announcing policy changes for the sitting of the exams, the ministry said they are aimed at serving the best interest of students.
