WAEC to Fully Adopt Computer-Based WASSCE by 2026

The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has reaffirmed plans to migrate the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) to full Computer-Based Testing (CBT) by 2026.

Head of National Office, Dr. Amos Dangut, disclosed this in Abuja during a sensitisation meeting with the National Assembly Committee on Education, noting that the transition, which began with private candidates in 2024, has recorded “significant progress” and will be scaled up nationwide.

Education Minister, Dr. Tunji Alausa, hailed the transition as a “historic step” aligning with ongoing reforms in curriculum, infrastructure, and digital learning.
