Hon.Anaba addressing the candidates.

During his rounds, the District Chief Executive was informed that the Tano South District registered one thousand four hundred (1400) pupils for the examination out of which seven hundred and sixty five (765) were males and the rest females. He was further informed that out of the total number who registered two failed to show up to write the examination as two female pupils were also seen pregnant writing  the examinations.

In all his rounds, Hon. Anaba advised the pupils to work hard in the course of writing the examinations to enable them pass the examination well. He advised the pupils to write their index numbers first as soon as they receive the answer sheet in all the examinations since that would enable the examination authorities identify who the candidate is, and entreated them not to enter the examination hall with any foreign material apart from those approved by the authorities.
