The 62 schools, he said, were made of 49 public schools and 13 private schools.
Mr. Dzanado further explained that they recorded an increase in the number of candidates as compared to previous years due to their tremendous efforts.
He said their outfit had placed all things in place ranging from invigilation, supervision, security, and others for a successful exercise.
Mr. Dzanado commended parents and guardians for their support over the years towards the welfare of their wards.
“We urged parents and guardians to provide our children with the necessary emotional and psychological support during this short period because this is a very important part of their academic journey.”
