The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has disclosed that
the conduct of its examination for private candidates would be
twice in a year with effect from 2017.
This was made known by the council Registrar, Dr Iyi Uwadiae,
who interacted with newsmen at the Registrar’s Staff Appraisal
Committee meeting held on Wednesday in Accra, Ghana.
He added that the West Africa Senior School Certificate
Examination (WASSCE) for private candidates known as the
November/December diet for private candidates will now be
conducted in January/February and August/September.
He said the measure is to ensure that many private candidates,
who desire the certificate for various purposes, will have the
opportunity of writing the examination and acquire the certificate.
He also added that they have concluded arrangements to
commence next year. He noted that this development will not
affect that of May/June, that remains once a year for all schools
candidates.
He concluded by saying this is part of its mandate to render
qualitative service to all member nations, the council is looking
forward to a more rewarding 2017.
