PUPILS ALLOCATED SUBSIDISED FORM FOUR PLACES URGED TO REGISTER
******
ALL PUPILS WHO HAVE BEEN ALLOCATED SUBSIDISED FORM FOUR PLACES IN THE JUNIOR SECONDARY EDUCATION ASSESSMENT ARE URGED TO REGISTER WITH THEIR DESIGNATED SCHOOLS ON TUESDAY (AUGUST 4).
A SPOKESMAN FOR THE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT EXPLAINED THAT FAILURE TO REGISTER WOULD MEAN ABANDONING THE DEPARTMENT'S OFFER OF A SUBSIDISED PLACE WHICH IS IRREVOCABLE.
BETWEEN AUGUST 5 AND 10, SCHOOLS WILL BE REPORTING TO THE DEPARTMENT ON THE NUMBER OF VACANT FORM FOUR PLACES AND WITH THE AVAILABLE STATISTICS, THE JSEA SECTION WILL CARRY OUT ANOTHER EXERCISE TO DETERMINE WHETHER REQUESTS FROM THE 1 800 STUDENTS THEY INTERVIEWED IN THE PAST TWO DAYS COULD BE ENTERTAINED.
+OFFICERS FROM THE JSEA SECTION WILL INFORM THOSE SUCCESSFUL PUPILS BY PHONE ON AUGUST 10 AND 11, THE SPOKESMAN SAID.
A TOTAL OF 52 521 PUPILS WERE ALLOCATED SUBSIDISED FORM FOUR PLACES IN THE FIRST JSEA. OF THIS NUMBER, 80 PER CENT OR ABOUT 42 000 PUPILS WHO OPT FOR THEIR OWN SCHOOL AS THEIR FIRST CHOICE WERE SUCCESSFUL.
