Following the announcement of the date for the 2020 WASSCE, the Head of the Nigerian National office of WAEC, Patrick Areghan has stated some guidelines for the examination conduct in line with the Federal Ministry of Health’s policies on safety measures against COVID-19. These include:

1. Schools must provide wash-hand buckets with running water, soaps, hand sanitizers and thermometer hand-gun to check the temperature of all concerned.
2. All examination functionaries, including the Council’s staff on distribution which are: Supervisors, Invigilators, Inspectors, candidates and school officials will be required to wear face masks, wash and sanitize their hands daily and throughout the duration of the examination.
3. There will be a strict adherence to social/physical distancing in the examination halls by making sure that candidates sit two (2) metres apart. This means that many more classrooms will be used and many more supervisors and invigilators will be required to conduct the examination.

Candidates have been severely warned against any form of examination malpractice. We therefore encourage candidates to practice adequately using the ExamPrep software. Call 08097178248.
