WAEC announces new fee/date for 2022 WASSCE

The West African Examination Council, (WAEC) has announced that the 2022 West African Senior School Certificate Examination, WASSCE, will be conducted in May/June.

Head of Nigeria National Office of WAEC, Patrick Areghan disclosed this on Monday while announcing 2021 results at the council national office, Yaba, Lagos.

Recently, WAEC has been  conducting WASSCE between August and October due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

” Let me thank the Federal and the various Ministries of Education for working so hard to stabilize the academic calendar.

Accordingly, as a result of the return to normalcy, the Honourable Minister of Education has requested that the WASSCE for School Candidates, 2022 should be conducted in May/June 2022.

By the special grace of God, the WASSCE for School Candidates, 2022 will be taking place in May/June 2022. Entries for the examination will be floated on Monday, December 6, 2021,” the WAEC boss explained.

Areghan also disclosed that from 2022, the cost of registration for the West African Senior School Certificate Examination, WASSCE, has been raised from N13,950 to N18,000 to meet the demands of economic reality.

”Owing to the devastating effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic which has brought the global economy to its knees, the unabating spiraling inflation in the country as can be seen in the general cost of doing business and the multiplier effect of the unabating insecurity in the country, which have consequential effects on the cost of our operations, it is no longer possible to continue to provide services with the current fee of N13,950.00 per candidate.

Furthermore, our ad-hoc workers – Supervisors, Examiners, Checkers, item Writers and indeed, all examination functionaries, have been agitating for improved remunerations.

We have received approval from the appropriate quarters with effect from the WASSCE for School Candidates, 2022, to charge N18,000.00 per candidate. We are, therefore, asking all school principals to collect N18,000.00 per candidate for registration”.
