Revelations have emerged that the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) and the National Examinations Council (NECO) will primarily rely on CBT centres rather than schools for the conduct of their Senior School Certificate Examinations (SSCE) in digital mode from next year, in line with the Federal Government’s directive. This revelation came during the virtual May edition of the education dialogue organised by the Education Writers’ Association of Nigeria (EWAN) on Thursday. At the event, the Head of National Office of WAEC Nigeria, Dr Amos Dangut, the Registrar and Chief Executive of NECO, Prof Dantani Ibrahim Wushishi, and the Director of Basic and Secondary Education at the Federal Ministry of Education, Hajia Binta Abdulkadir, were panelists. They spoke on the topic, “CBT for SSCE: Is Nigeria ready?” and answered questions from attendees. No fewer than 95 participants, including education editors, reporters, scholars, and other stakeholders, were present.
