He urged secondary school teachers in the country to manage the transformation in education progression from over reliance on Summative Assessment to Formative Assessment to enhance education levels.
“Very few As, Bs and C+ are achieved in the final examinations, half of the candidate’s score Grade E in the examinations” he said.
