In a statement issued and signed by Hashmin Mohammed, Press Secretary to the Minister of Education, the Ministry described the occasion as a significant milestone in the academic journey of the newly admitted students, marking the beginning of an important chapter in their pursuit of knowledge and personal growth.
The Ministry encouraged the new entrants to approach their secondary education with discipline, dedication, and enthusiasm, emphasizing that this phase represents an essential foundation for their future aspirations.
It also expressed appreciation to parents and guardians for their patience and cooperation throughout the school placement process, acknowledging their vital role in ensuring a smooth transition for their wards.
Furthermore, the Ministry announced that the placement into schools and residential status for the 2025/2026 academic year has officially closed, and urged parents and guardians to proceed to their respective schools to complete enrollment formalities.
