The West African Examinations Council, WAEC, has introduced a new initiative that allows students to resit their West African Secondary School Certificate Examination, WASSCE, exams as early as January and February 2025.

This change is a departure from the previous system, where candidates had to wait for the next private exam session.

The Head of Public Affairs, John Kapi, made the revelation in a statement.

Commenting on the development, the Chairman, Ogun State chapter, the Academic Staff Union of Secondary School, Felix Agbesanwa, described it as a step in the right direction.

Kapi stated that the new programme, named WASSCE PC1, offers a quicker opportunity for students to enhance their grades.
