WAEC Begins e-Registration in March 2021

-

 The  West  African  Examinations  Council,  Nigeria,  has  said  that  the  e-registration for  the  2021  West  African  Senior  School  Certificate Examination  for  school candidates  will  begin  from  March  16  to  March  31.


 It  said  the offline  registration  started  on  February  15  and  would  end  on  March 15. Head  of  the  Nigeria  National  Office,  WAEC, Mr  Patrick  Areghan,  said  this  at  a briefing  organised  to  announce  the  release of  the results  of  the WASSCE  Private Candidates,  2020. 


Due  to  the challenges  in  the education  system, a  lot  of  disruption  has  taken place.  Some schools  are still  running  their  third  term.  They  do  not  have any  SS3. So  because of  this, we had  to  take time  to  allow  things  to  stabilise a  bit. 


“Today, (Monday)  we  are  going  to  roll  out  materials;  schools  will  collect.  They will  enrol  candidates.  And  the date of  the  examination  would  be announced later,”  he  said. Areghan  also  explained  that  61,509  candidates  sat  for  the  examination,  adding that  9.02  per  cent  of  the  total  number  of  candidates  that  sat  for  the  examination, were  being  withheld  in  connection  with  various  reported  cases  of  examination malpractice. 


He said, “The  results  of  5,548  candidates,  representing  9.02  per  cent  of  the  total number  of  candidates  that  sat  the  examination,  are being  withheld  in  connection with  various  reported  cases  of  examination  malpractice. 


“The  cases  are being  investigated  and  reports  of  the investigations  will  be presented  to  the  appropriate committee of  the  council  for  determination  in  due course.  The  committee’s  decisions  will  be communicated  directly  to  the  affected candidates  thereafter.”
