It said the digitalization has come to stay as it has completely taken over from the manual.

“The process which involves migration from the manual recruitment of Supervisors and Assistant Supervisors to Online system would ensure that supervisors’ Nomination forms, Appointment Letters and Supervisors’ e-photo Albums are generated online.

“Also, the routine swapping of Supervisors and Assistant Supervisors during the Examination would be done Online,” the statement added.

The Council called on interested qualified Teachers with NCE, Degree certificates, Master’s Degrees, PhD and Professors whom it said are eligible to apply as Supervisors and Assistant Supervisors for BECE or SSCE Internal or External.
