Mr. Mustapha said the postponement was necessitated by the anxieties of parents ahead of the general elections rescheduled to hold on March 28 and April 11.
According to him, registration for the examination will continue until April 18.
“The idea of postponement was brought by the ministry and after consultations with the council, we decided to shift it,” he said. “There are some concerns as to whether parents will leave their children in schools with the uncertainties ahead of the elections.”
