SchoolNewsNG Be Educationally Informed, Academically Sound
The Federal Government has disclosed that the country is in talks with stakeholders concerning a new exam date and a new timetable for the 2020 WAEC exams. This was disclosed by the Minister of State for Education, Emeka Nwajiuba in Abuja.
The minister stated if the stakeholders refuse to shift the timetable for the exam to a new date and all other forms of negotiation fail, 2020 WAEC candidates may have to sit for the General Certificate Examinations (GCE) in November and no longer WAEC May/June SSCE.
According to him, sitting for GCE examinations may become the only option for Nigerian students if the government cannot convince WAEC to shift its examinations.
He also stated that, in the event that Nigeria finally meets up with the WAEC timetable, subjects such as Igbo, Hausa and Yoruba will have to be shifted behind to make room for the writing of general subjects with other participating countries.
Concerning the reopening of schools, Nwajiuba stated that the government would meet with stakeholders again on July 30, to review the guidelines, provisions, and preparations for safe reopening of schools.
My personal opinion
Since our government is not too legit
They can take the money we paid for registration and give us free results or allow us use our CAS data as waec results
We all did not bargain for this
It would be a thing of joy for the students if this was done
It’s not like we don’t want to write the exams, we are ready but since they’ve decided to not allow us write, I believe alternatives are welcomed.
I think we all exams candidate’s need to make a protest over this matter, because is seriously turning in a different case. I’m demm tired of this country’s hesitation.
