The extension classes are open to GCE A level students who have passed the Cambridge School Certificate or its equivalent in the appropriate science subject and who are not attending a secondary school.
The ministry will, however, also consider applications from students who are still attending a secondary school but who wish to sit for the GCE A level in an additional science subject, which they are currently not studying.
The state secondary schools to run the classes will be chosen according to the number of applicants and their residential address. Each practical session of two hours will be held at least once weekly and will start at 3.30 pm.
A total of two practical sessions will be offered in each subject.
Applications should be submitted online at http://citizen.gov.mu by selecting ‘Application for use of labs for Science Extension Classes’ from the list of available e-services.
Eligible applicants will be invited to call at the Ministry of Education and Human Resources, MITD House Phoenix to produce their birth and academic certificates and pay the enrolment fee of Rs 500 per subject. Applicants under the age of 20 will also be requested to produce their School Leaving Certificate or if they are still attending a secondary school, certification from the head of their school that they are not studying the subject applied for at their present school.
