. . . . . *This simply means waec will be cbt 2026 and they have made plans already for it*

Yes and it is because the advantages of the computer-based examination are enormous. Though, there may be challenges for its effective implementation, especially at the beginning but we will surmount them over time. So, with CBE, students’ performance will improve. There are empirical records from our past exams to show for this. When we did the trial test for this complete test of examination in essays and objectives in some centres, the candidates were so enthusiastic. We have their records on preferring to do the examination as CBE. We also have the facts that the malpractice rate we discovered in the five examinations fell below the international standards. So, it’s a good way of checking examination practice. We know that for the socio-economic development of Nigeria, we have to minimise examination malpractice to the barest minimum. *What exactly did you mean by a full CBE mode?* The full version of our CBE is that candidates will read their questions on computer and write and submit their answers also on computer and not on pen-and- paper. So, that is the full CBE to us. Even as earlier mentioned, some candidates sitting for our ongoing November/December examination for private candidates are using computer and not pen and paper to write their papers. And this mode will continue next year. *Some school of thoughts believe that WAEC conducting three exams in a year is too much for students to cope with, how do you react to that?* This information is not acceptable to us as an examining body. For us, we conduct only two main forms of examinations – the school candidates in May/June and the private candidates which are in two series. By government’s policy, students who are currently in school are not expected to do private candidates examination. However, after they have finished the schools candidates’ examination, those with deficiency in one subject or the other can sit for private candidate examination in November/December to make up for their deficiency and likewise those who want to change their course of study. We also have the first series for private candidates to allow people that have not gone to school at all or dropped out of school midway to sit for our examination. We must make room for them. The society must consider them. They did not go through formal schools or they dropped out midway. If such people still want to go to school, maybe for higher studies or for career purpose, they are not expected to go through secondary school as adults. So, the private candidate examination is meant for them. So, if the first series taken in February is removed, it means that we will keep those candidates frustrated and jobless or at home, until another November/December. So, I want the public to understand that for private candidates, they have two series to remedy whatever deficiency they may have suffered. For school candidates, if there’s any deficiency in their results, there is a private examination for them in November /December to remedy those deficiencies.

The council wishes to clarify that this initiative is a directive from the Federal Government. For clarity purposes, it is not WAEC’s duty to develop the curriculum. It is the Federal Government that has the sole mandate to do so. WAEC only comes in to assess the developed curriculum and its implementation. This is a fact that we must accept. We are experts. If you give us the curriculum, we will assess it on how it is being implemented in schools. So, for emphasis sakes, it is the government that has the responsibility to ensure that curriculum is adequately implemented in schools and then at the appropriate time we come in to assess as an examining body. People should know that WAEC operates strictly within the legal framework of its host country, and we are fully committed to timely implementation of the curriculum within the ambit of its host country’s guiding regulation. So, people should stop accusing WAEC on the issue of curriculum review. *Can you shed light on the streamlined and reviewed subjects that candidates will be examined on during your 2026 May/June examination?* The subjects to be offered by candidates have now been categorised into five distinct fields- the core subjects, science subjects, humanities subjects, business subjects, and trade subjects. The five core subjects, which can also be termed compulsory subjects, are English language, general mathematics, citizenship and heritage studies education, digital technologies, and trade subjects. However, out of these five, candidates will not be tested in citizenship and heritage studies education as well as digital technologies in 2026 but until 2028. This is because they are new subjects that require the development of new curricula and examination syllabus. They will therefore not be examined until 2028 following full syllabus implementation. As a result of this, candidates registering for WASSCE in 2026 and 2027 will only be required to sit for three compulsory subjects, which are English language, general mathematics, and one trade subject. In addition to these three core compulsory subjects, candidates are to select five or six other subjects to make a minimum of eight subjects or a maximum of nine subjects in total to satisfy the requirements to register for the examination. *What about the trade subjects?* Before now, trade subjects were 26 in number, but currently they have been streamlined to six with some of the subjects renamed but retained their curriculum contents and examination syllabi. One of the new trade subjects-Horticulture and Crop Production is a specialised branch of agricultural science from which the examination syllabus and questions will be derived. The context of the syllabus is being circulated to schools. We have also circulated the renamed subjects. Like I said, they are just renamed, but the old curriculum and the examination syllabus remain the same. We must also address another concern being expressed by some stakeholders in respect of subject registration for our 2026 WASSCE. We have assured candidates and now re-assuring them that none of them will be restricted from registering subjects from other subject groups or distinct elective fields. Specifically, Science students will not be barred from taking economics as an elective. They can choose this subject to complete their subject selection. Furthermore, WAEC has extended the period for uploading of the Continuous Assessment Scores (CASS) to enable the accurate capturing of CASS for candidates who must take new subjects in line with the Federal Government’s approved list for our 2026 May/June WASSCE. Now, WAEC will advise schools to conduct a minimum of three distinct Continuous Assessment Tests for candidates to ensure they meet the CASS’s requirement. *It seems you are so enthusiastic about this migration from pen-paper mode examination to full the CBT mode?*

*How we paired schools nationwide for migration to full-CBT exam — WAEC* *What do you think students need to know about their registration for the 2026 May/June exam?* They need to be properly guided by their schools and counsellors. We all aware of the Federal Government’s directive to WAEC and other public examination bodies in the country to adopt the computer-based approach for the Senior Secondary School Certificate Examination, beginning from 2026. And as a law-abiding organisation, we took immediate steps to facilitate the implementation of the directive, including the pilot testing of digital processes of our systems towards the achievement of this migration. On the part of WAEC, the arrangements with testing have been concluded. Now as we speak and given the facilities in place, we can conduct a 100 percent computer-based examination, from the objective to the essay papers. *How did you achieve that?* It is an in-house thing done through our computer division ingenuity and innovation. I want to assure the students and the public alike that we are advancing in many aspects of assessment and we are not relenting. At the appropriate forum, we will unveil to the public our technological strides in this regard. WAEC as a foremost examining body has the legal mandate to fulfil in conjunction with the governments of the host countries. This is to conduct examinations and award certificates comparable to those of equivalent examining authorities internationally. Our certificates are recognised globally. This is why stakeholders need to safeguard WAEC certificate at all times. It’s a regional and not a national certificate, credible and reliable. *Is that all you represent as a body?* WAEC assists in the development of sound educational policies across the countries where it operates. We also promote sustainable human resource development and promote international cooperation, among others. *Many people seem to be confused about the migration of WAEC to full CBT examination, what do you have to tell such people?* Nothing should confuse anybody about our migration to Computer Based Examinations (CBE). Long before now, our plan had been to migrate from the pen and paper examination mode to the computer-based mode and we have already commenced that with the private candidates. Now, the Federal Government came up with directive for us to migrate to full CBE for the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) school candidates in 2026. Truly, the directive has raised concerns among stakeholders, and this has prompted us to further consult with the government on modalities for the effective migration without disenfranchising any candidate. To this end, we at a time halted the registration on the website to enable us to strengthen the grey areas that exist with the stakeholders, in line with the council’s best administration policies. This is majorly to review the readiness of all secondary schools across the country to CBE, assess their geographical locations and their access to ICT facilities. The outcome of all these is what led to the development of a framework classifying schools into three main categories for the migration. *Can you share these three categories?* I will say again that the classification is to ensure that no candidate is denied of sitting for our examination come 2026. So, on the modality, some schools, especially in the rural areas may not go for CBE immediately, while some may go for combination of computer-based and the pen-and paper mode and the rest may write their examination solely using computer even by 2026. So, these are the three categories. Also, we have a fair plan to ensure that no candidate has to travel more than two kilometres to sit for the examination. This modality is for access and equity. *How about the recent curriculum review that is affecting candidates’ registration for the examination?*

“The Council operates strictly within the legal framework of its host country, and the Government is solely responsible for the development of curricula and the monitoring of their implementation,” he noted. He outlined the new subject structure approved for the 2026 WASSCE, saying the five fields are Core, Science, Humanities, Business, and Trade Subjects. Dangut added that although Citizenship and Heritage Studies and Digital Technologies are now listed as compulsory core subjects, they will not be examined until 2028. “The Government approved Core (Compulsory) subjects are: English Language, General Mathematics, Citizenship and Heritage Studies, Digital Technologies, and one Trade Subject. However, candidates will not be tested in Citizenship and Heritage Studies and Digital Technologies in 2026 and would therefore not be examined until 2028 upon full implementation of the revised and streamlined syllabus,” he said. With this adjustment, he said candidates for the 2026 and 2027 examinations will sit only three core subjects: English Language, General Mathematics, and one Trade Subject, while selecting five or six electives, bringing their total subject load to eight or nine. He also disclosed a major change to the Trade Subjects category, revealing that the number had been reduced from 26 to six, while some subjects were renamed but retained their existing curriculum content. One of the new additions, Horticulture and Crop Production, he said, is derived from Agricultural Science and will have its own syllabus. Addressing concerns about subject registration limits, Dangut reassured schools and parents that WAEC had not placed any restrictions on candidates choosing subjects across fields. “Specifically, Science students will not be barred from taking Economics as an elective,” he said. On continuous assessment, he announced that WAEC would extend the timeline for uploading Continuous Assessment Scores to allow schools to adjust to the new curriculum. He urged schools to conduct the required minimum of three assessments for candidates taking new subjects to meet the CASS requirement. “Furthermore, WAEC will extend the period for Continuous Assessment Scores upload to ensure they meet the CASS requirement,” he said.

*2026 CBT rollout on track, says WAEC* The West African Examinations Council has maintained that its plan to conduct the 2026 West African Senior School Certificate Examination for school candidates through a fully computer-based system remains firmly on track. WAEC also assured that no candidate would be required to travel more than two kilometres from their location to take the examination. This was contained in a statement delivered by the Head of the Nigeria National Office of WAEC, Dr Amos Dangut, during a press conference in Umuahia, Abia State, on Friday. Dangut spoke in response to growing concerns among parents, schools, and education stakeholders regarding the transition to the Computer-Based WASSCE for the May/June diet. It would be recalled that the House of Representatives, on November 13, asked the Federal Ministry of Education and WAEC to immediately suspend the implementation of the Computer-Based Test policy for the 2026 Senior Secondary School Certificate Examination. The House also directed the Federal Ministry of Education to collaborate with states to include, in their 2026–2029 budgets, the recruitment of computer teachers, the construction of computer halls with internet facilities, and the provision of standby generators for all secondary schools in the country. It similarly urged adequate provision of necessary facilities in private schools before the commencement of the policy in 2030. However, Dangut said the briefing became necessary to speak on the Council’s preparedness to align with the Federal Government’s directive mandating the use of computer-based testing for the 2026 WASSCE. He recalled the Federal Government’s order requiring all public examination bodies to migrate to digital assessment beginning in 2026. According to him, WAEC immediately initiated a series of measures, including testing digital examination platforms and evaluating the readiness of schools nationwide. He explained that WAEC, in line with its mandate and test administration standards, undertook a nationwide assessment of all secondary schools to determine their ICT capacity, geographical suitability, and infrastructure for digital examinations. The findings, he said, informed a new classification framework grouping schools into three categories to determine how candidates would be assigned centres. “In line with the Council’s test administration policies, a review of the readiness of all secondary schools across the country, particularly their geographical locations and access to modern Information and Communications Technology facilities, led to the development of a framework classifying schools into three main categories,” he said. “Based on this framework, the Council conducted a mapping of the schools and modalities for the conduct of CB-WASSCE in line with the mapping of the schools, thereby ensuring that the conduct of the CB-WASSCE will not put any candidate at a disadvantageous position.” He emphasised that fears of candidates travelling long distances were taken into cognisance, noting that WAEC had completed its mapping strategy to guarantee convenience, equity, and safety. “Therefore, I stand here today to assure the general public that the Council has developed a robust strategy to ensure that no candidate sitting the CB-WASSCE for School Candidates, 2026, will be disenfranchised. “Furthermore, we have a firm plan to ensure that no candidate will have to travel for more than two kilometres to sit the examination. This is our commitment to access and equity,” he assured. On the controversial review of the curriculum, Dangut stressed that curriculum development and approval remained the responsibility of the Federal Government, not WAEC. He said the Council merely implements what is approved, consistent with legal and administrative frameworks. “On the recent review of the Basic and Secondary School Curricula, the Council wishes to clarify that this initiative is a directive from the Federal Government.
