The Oyo State Post-Primary School Teaching Service Commission (TESCOM) says the computer-based test (CBT) for applicants for teaching and non-teaching positions in the state public secondary schools will be held between July 29 and August 2.

Chairman of TESCOM, Akinade Alamu, disclosed this on Thursday in Ibadan while updating journalists on recruiting 10,000 teaching and non-teaching staff into the state teaching service.

Mr Alamu said 62,000 applicants would participate in the examinations, of whom 12,000 put in for non-teaching jobs and 50,000 for teaching jobs.

He said the examinations would be held at the CBT Centre, Ajibode, and the University of Ibadan Distance Learning Centre, Ibadan.

The chairman said that specific dates and times for respective applicants could be accessed through the job portal dedicated to the exercise. He called on the applicants to print copies of their CBT schedule and the applications bearing their passports from the job portal.

Mr Alamu also urged the applicants to adhere strictly to the time and date sent to them, warning that loitering around the examination centre would not be condoned.

According to him, successful candidates must appear for an oral interview.

The chairman expressed the commission’s commitment to a credible exercise and urged the general public not to rely on hear-says.
