The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has reaffirmed its readiness to commence the conduct of its West African Senior School Certificate Examinations (WASSCE) for private candidates on a digital platform, starting with the first series of exams this February.
The organisation has also restated and made it clear that the Computer-Based Examination (CBE) is only for private candidates for now, while it has not decided when to incorporate the May-June school-based candidates into the new exam method.
The Head of National Office WAEC Nigeria, Dr Amos Dangut, made this clarification in a statement made available by the council’s spokesperson, Mrs Moyosola Adesina, on Monday.
He said the clarification is necessary to further enlighten prospective candidates and members of the public on the forthcoming first-series exam and the CB-WASSCE mode’s involvement.

He said WAEC attention was drawn to a recent media report credited to a youth forum calling for the rejection of the planned CBT exam for private candidates on the basis that such would also extend to school-based candidates, which he said was a falsehood and misleading.
