Pre-entry to Tertiary Education Programme

INTRODUCTION
This is a special programme, necessitated by the trend that current science and technology
related programmes at institutions of higher learning indicate low admission. This is in relation
to gender and the least advantaged groups. The PETE programme was thus introduced to
address the mismatch and bridge the gap between exit skills at secondary level and the
required entry skills at the higher education level.

OBJECTIVES OF THIS PROGRAMME

This programme aims to give learners the opportunity to rewrite specific NSSC(O/H) subjects
and improve their competencies to levels which will enable them to gain admission into tertiary
institutions, and be able to cope with curricula demands at tertiary level.

ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS
Candidates are required to submit their applications at NAMCOL’s regional and sub-regional
offices. The selection process will involve preliminary screening of applications and the
administration of aptitude tests.
Candidates who wish to apply for this programme must:
• NSSCO at C symbol or higher or at least a 4-symbol on NSSCH is a prerequiste to continue
with a subject on NSSCAS.
• NO RPL is accepted.
• A maximum of 3 NSSCAS subjects at a time may be taken on part time.
• Learners who did not meet the promotion requirements for NSSCAS subjects before, may
repeat on NSSCAS level
• Support must be given to candidates at part time centres.
• Be prepared to write an aptitude test.

Examination Registration
GUIDE

Registering for the examinations is a separate exercise from registering for tuition
with NAMCOL, therefore, candidates have to register separately for tuition and for the
examination. Registration period for the November/December exams will be announced
by the Ministry of Education, Art and Culture. Candidates wanting to opt to carry forward
marks for the Oral or SBA component must note that only marks of the examinations
written the previous year (Nov/Dec) can be carried forward.

Candidates must ensure that they register at the examination centres registered with
the Ministry of Education, Arts and Culture. In each region certain schools have been
identified as examination centres for part-time candidates and registration takes place
during dedicated time slots.

12
Examination Registration

The National examinations for Grades 11 learners are administered by the Ministry
of Education, Arts and Culture under the Directorate: National Examinations
and Assessment (DNEA). All NAMCOL learners should register for examinations
separately, during enrolment from 21 February - 25 March 2021. Please note that
failure to do so, will result in the learner being UNABLE to sit for examinations during
NOV/DEC 2022 final examinations.

Please note that you cannot claim back your exam registration money if you
do not turn up for the examinations, nor can it be transferred to the next
examinations.

Any errors detected on your admission permit must be reported to the Head of
Examination Centre.
