The
West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) has been scheduled
to commence in August.
The Minister of State for Education, Emeka Nwajiuba, announced this on
Monday at the briefing of the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 in Abuja.
He said, “From the 4th of August to the 5th of September, please take
note. Last week the Chairman of the PTF announced that school facilities will
be available for those who want to go into revision classes.
“The idea here is that we have a whole month from now till then, those who
can and those who are willing; the states who are willing should make their
schools available for their children to revise.
“We
have done the most we can with our representatives at WAEC and we have, this
afternoon, confirmed that the dates allotted for the exams will be from the 4th
of August through to the 5th of September,” the minister added.
According to him, the ministry will publish the local timings for the
examinations after a meeting with authorities of the Nigeria Centre for Disease
Control (NCDC) and the Nigerian Union of Teachers (NUT), among other
stakeholders.
Nwajiuba disclosed that as soon as WAEC examinations were concluded, the
government would take up the National Examination Council (NECO) and the
National Business and Technical Examinations Board (NABTEB) examinations.
