It is found that 449 candidates for Paper I Secondary Grade Teachers and 84 candidates for Paper II Graduate Assistants have absented themselves again. In view of this, if absentee candidates still desire to appear for CV, they are advised to make representation in writing to Teachers Recruitment Board Headquarters. Board may consider to afford another opportunity on merit.
