The West African Examination Council WAEC has warned that its
timetable for the 2020 Senior Secondary Certificate Examination that
will be released after the coronavirus pandemic break may not give
room for long preparations for candidates.
The council said it had therefore made available several online
resources for candidates and pupils sitting for its terminal
examination, adding that it is working on making online tutorials
available for them.
The Head, Public Affairs of the West African Examinations Council, Mr
Damian Ojijeogu, in an interview with Newsmen, said there might not be
time for candidates to begin preparations when the council brings out
its new timetable after the pandemic.
Recall that WAEC, had on twentieth March, announced the postponement
of its School Certificate Examination until further notice due to the
COVID-19 pandemic.
The council disclosed that the new dates for the examination, which
was earlier scheduled for sixth April, will be communicated to schools
and other education stakeholders in due course.
The decision is a demonstration of the organization’s concern and
support for the various protocols being put in place by the Federal
and State governments of Nigeria and the governments of the other
member countries to check the spread of the disease.
