The National Examination Board confirmed on 22 April 2025 that the Grade 12 examinations would begin as scheduled on 24 April, despite concerns arising from the prolonged teachers’ protest.
The decision followed a board meeting held that Tuesday morning. The board said the published examination date and timetable would remain in effect.
What the announcement said
- Grade 12 examinations were set to begin on 24 April 2025.
- The board did not announce a postponement or revised timetable.
- Schools serving as examination centres were asked to coordinate with district examination committees.
- Students were expected to follow instructions issued through their schools and official notices.
The board urged schools hosting Grade 12 examination centres to conduct the examinations in coordination with the Examination Coordination Committees in their respective districts.

Why this confirmation mattered
