WAEC to start conducting examination for private candidates (GCE), twice every year.

The West African Examinations Council (WAEC)
says it will soon begin the conduct of its
examination for private candidates twice in a
year, with effect from 2017. .
.
The council Registrar, Dr Iyi Uwadiae, said,
“WASSCE for private candidates known as the
November/December diet for private
candidates, will now be conducted in January/
February and August/September.’’
.
.
According to him, the measure is to ensure
that many private candidates, who desire the
certificate for various purposes, will have the
opportunity of writing the examination and
acquire the certificate.

“We have concluded arrangements to
commence writing of our WASSCE for private
candidates twice a year from 2017. This
development, however, does not affect that of
the school candidates, popularly called May/
June," he added.
