The West African Examinations Council (WAEC), Nigeria has announced that the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) for 2022 is scheduled for May 16 to June 23. This was disclosed at a press conference on Monday by the Head of WAEC (Nigeria), Mr. Patrick Areghan.
According to him, “The revert to May/June period for the conduct of the examination should be celebrated.
“The significance of this is that the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) and the various member states, save Ghana, have now again found a common ground in respect of their academic calendars. This shows a massive recovery from the devastating effects, disruptions, and confusion caused by the COVID19 pandemic”.
He also warned students to study hard and shun any form of examination malpractice, adding that erring schools, officials, and candidates would be duly punished.
Areghan said, “I want to specifically warn supervisors to desist from aiding and abetting examination malpractice by assisting candidates in one way or the other, especially by allowing them to enter the examination hall with their cell phones and make use of the same. This is shameful and indecorous. We shall fish them out and deal with them. All hands must be on deck to sanitize the educational sector”.
