FG to shift WAEC exam to CBT
Earlier, Legit.ng reported that the federal government revealed plans to utilise both privately owned and public computer-based testing (CBT) centres across the country to conduct the Senior School Certificate Examination starting in 2026.
Education minister, Tunji Alausa, disclosed this after observing a trial run of the CBT for SSCE conducted by the National Examination Council (NECO) at Sascon International School in Abuja, the Nigerian capital city.
Alausa praised NECO for executing the CBT SSCE pilot phase smoothly and announced plans to relocate future school-based SSCEs to designated CBT centres outside school premises.
