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.
To be completely honest.. Federal government should put things into consideration.. Alot of the WAEC candidates has taken jamb already and the only thing that would assure our admission this year is WAEC.. If FG don’t allow us sit for the exam it will only cost disaster Cus many students put awaiting result in their jamb.. Nobody wants to be at the loose end, since FG won’t allow WAEC to Take place its better to give free result to all WAEC candidates in compensation of the covid pandemic.. At least it is better this way than the exam being delayed…
That was what I’m even thinking if they don’t want to reopen school for final year student,let them give their result anywhere,in order not to cost disaster
U can’t be serious so u want a free WAEC result
