Grade 10

Records from the Measurement Services Division (MSD) of the Department of Education show that 350 high and secondary schools have nominated about 79,960 students for Grade 10 this year.

The Written Expression Examination was originally scheduled for the 4th of June by the MSD Calendar. Due to COVID-19, it was postponed by 2 weeks to the 18th of June to give students and schools enough time to catch up with the lost instructional hours under the 'new normal' directives. It was again rescheduled by another 2 weeks to 2nd of July to give sufficient time for all.

The Secretary for Education Dr Uke Kombra is advising all the provincial administrators, advisors and education boards, church education secretaries, principals, head teachers and parents to take heed of the dates and strictly administer the exams on the time and dates approved by Education Department.

The Grade 10 Lower Secondary School Certificate Examination will be conducted from Monday 8th October to Friday 12th October and will see a total of 72,012 Grade 10 students in 328 High and Secondary Schools.
