National Service Scheme Assessment Form, the NSS assessment form is basically a duty report document where your supervisor notes down your punctuality and attitude towards your work and gives remarks on whether you are fit and certified for the task assigned. It also contains identification details for you and your supervisor such as name, phone number, email address, NSS number, institution attended as well as the immediate supervisor’s rank and the name of the organization he represents.
The NSS documents are usually in three main categories; monthly assessment, after-the-end-of-service and the rules and regulation guide. The NSS monthly assessment form should be renewed and signed after every four weeks in a specified time frame, while the end of service form is only applicable once you are done with your assigned task.
The National Service Scheme is a program that was established way back in 1973 by the government of Ghana through the Ministry of Education with its National Secretariat in the capital city Accra and offices distributed in various designated regions and districts all over the country. Its main aim was to sharpen the skills of freshly graduated post students from the tertiary institutions through practical national work which was to be used for the development and improvement of both the public and private economic sectors of Ghana.
Even though it was initially intended for every citizen above eighteen years of age to participate in the program, it, later on, narrowed to the tertiary institution graduates who are not less than eighteen years of age and became mandatory for every postgraduate student to take part in it.
