The West Africa
Examination Council (WAEC) has fixed August 4, 2020, as commencement for this
year’s examination, according to Chukwuemeka Nwajiuba, minister of state for
education.
At the presidential
task force on COVID-19 briefing on Monday, Nwajiuba said the examination will
end on September 5.
According to the
minister, after WAEC examination, that of the National Examination Council
(NECO) and the National Business and Technical Examinations Board (NABTEB) will
hold.
He added that
timetable for the examination will be made available in due course.
“Last week, the
chairman of the PTF announced that school facilities would be available for
those who want to go into revision classes. As soon as we conclude WAEC, we’ll
take up the NABTEB and NECO examinations,” he said.
“The idea here is
that we have a whole month from now till then. Those who can and those who are
willing — the states who are willing — should make their schools available for
their children to revise.
“We’ve done the most
we can with our representative at WAEC and we have this afternoon confirmed
that the dates allotted for the exams will be from the 4th of August through to
the 5th of September. Local timings will be published.
“From tomorrow, this
is part of what we’re taking into our concluding stakeholders’ meeting tomorrow
with NCDC, Nigeria Union of Teachers. Everybody will conclude this
stakeholders’ meeting tomorrow and these dates are what were going to take into
those.
“We’ll be asking
that those who are not prepared yet to please go and prepare.”
