WAEC Releases Timetable for WASSCE 2020

The West African Examinations Council has released the final international timetable for the conduct of the 2020 West African Senior School Certificate Examination.

This was disclosed on Tuesday August 4, 2020, on the Council’s Twitter page.

The Council, in a statement by the head of public affairs, WAEC Nigeria, Demainus Ojijeogu, enjoined the general public to disregard “several versions of the examination timetable that have been in circulation”.

According to the statement, the examination would begin effective from August 17 and end on September 12, 2020.

“The council hereby urges the candidates to abide by the rules and regulations guiding the conduct of the examination by shunning all acts of malpractice and obeying all COVID-19 protocols that have been put in place at the examination centres,” the statement reads.

This year’s WASSCE, earlier scheduled for April, was postponed indefinitely because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The federal government, however, stated that students of unity schools would not participate in the examination owing to COVID-19 concerns.
