The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) is currently trending across Nigeria following the Federal Government's strong stance on Computer-Based Testing (CBT) for all major examinations.
According to Channels TV, Education Minister Prof. Tahir Mamman declared "no going back" on implementing CBT for WAEC and NECO to combat rampant examination malpractice.
This comes as Vanguard reports the government is defending its anti-cheating measures, with Education Commissioner Mr. Alausa stating the recent mass failure in JAMB actually proves their strict policies are working. The report has sparked heated debates among parents and educators about balancing exam integrity with student success rates.
Meanwhile, Tribune Online reveals the FG is upgrading 38 technical colleges nationwide and plans to fully digitize all examinations by 2027, including WAEC. This ambitious education reform aims to modernize Nigeria's assessment systems but faces challenges in rural areas with poor internet infrastructure.
With high-stakes exams undergoing radical changes and affecting millions of students, WAEC remains at the center of Nigeria's education transformation debate.
