On 11th August, Cambridge International Examinations announced its results which did not settle well with the students. The outcry forced CIE to re-assess the whole process and the final verdict was announced today. Our federal Minister Education announced today that “Great news.Our tireless effort has been successful. Cambridge has decided that grades for June 2020 would NOT BE LESS THAN PREDICTED GRADES SENT BY SCHOOLS. PLUS Where a grade issued last week was HIGHER THAN THE PREDICTED GRADE, THE HIGHER GRADE WILL STAND.”
