WAEC To Stop External Exam Candidates Registration Soon

This is a news update that we just got from the West African Examination Council (WAEC). The council has announced the move of stopping the registration of external students by schools.

This announcement was stated by the coordinator of WAEC in Plateau, Mr Basil Inyang. He said that "once a student failed the examination, the said student would not be availed the opportunity to register in the succeeding year".

The council will soon make the cancellation of registration of external candidates by secondary schools firm. This is because most students look for miracle centres to register for the examination, constituting the bulk of examination malpractices.

“If a student fails the examination in the first sitting and wants to sit for the second time, the students must go back to their former school and register again,’’ he said.

He concluded by saying that parents should instil into their children good moral standards and never support their children in any form of examination fraud.
