The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has expressed satisfaction with the smooth execution of the 2026 Second Series West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) for Private Candidates, which has recorded an influx of over 56,000 examinees across designated centers nationwide. In an official briefing, WAEC’s national office highlighted that the expanded transition toward Computer-Based Testing (CBT) has significantly enhanced examination credibility, drastically minimized question leakages, and eliminated traditional malpractice loopholes. Education officials noted that students across various state centers adapted swiftly to the digital interfaces, with preliminary results scheduled for release much faster than historical pen-and-paper timelines.
