THE National Board for Professional and Technician Examination (NABPTEX) has released the 2007 Higher National Diploma (HND) results of eight out of the country’s 10 polytechnics.
While the results of students of Accra Polytechnic are under consideration, that of Ho Polytechnic are yet to be submitted to NABPTEX.
According to the statistics of the 2007 HND results, 4,423 students would be awarded HND out of 98 programmes pursued for the period of studies.
The statistics indicated that 53 students had first class, 1,950 second class upper, 2,270 second class lower, 150 passes, while 954 others have either been referred or their results were under investigations.
NABPTEX has, therefore, directed the heads of polytechnics to arrange and collect the results, and urged “employers and institutions that the authenticity of all HND results and certificates should always be verified by writing to the Executive Secretary of NABPTEX”.
In a related development, NABPTEX in collaboration with the Dutch government, will from August, this year, conduct a study on HND graduates to find out how relevant the programmes they undertook in school have been beneficial to the needs of the country.
The study is to give the board a fair idea of what is happening on the field to enable it to modify the contents of programmes to suit national demands.
It has urged all HND graduates to furnish the polytechnics they attended or NABPTEX with their particulars for the study.
