The Federal Ministry of Education mandates a nationwide prohibition on accepting new admissions or transfers into Senior Secondary School Three (SS3). Effective from the 2026/2027 academic session, this decisive action targets the root causes of rampant examination malpractice.

The New Policy: Ending Last-Minute Transfers
The directive, signed by Director of Press Boriowo Folasade, signals a zero-tolerance stance on academic fraud.
- What Changes: Schools—both public and private—must not permit admission or transfer into SS3 under any circumstance.
- Permitted Grades: Students are only eligible for admission or transfer into Senior Secondary School One (SS1) and Senior Secondary School Two (SS2).
Why the FG SS3 Admission Ban Matters
This measure directly addresses the controversial practice of “special centres” and eleventh-hour student movement. The Ministry acts now to:
- Discourage Fraud: Eliminate last-minute transfers motivated purely by securing unfair advantages in final examinations.
- Enhance Monitoring: Ensure continuity in teaching and learning, allowing schools to accurately monitor academic progress over a full cycle.
- Restore Credibility: Reinforce the integrity of Nigeria’s public examination system.
Compliance is Mandatory
School proprietors and administrators must comply fully. The Ministry issues a strong warning: Violations of the FG SS3 Admission Ban will result in sanctions under existing educational guidelines.
The Federal Government affirms its commitment to maintaining rigorous academic standards across the country.
