The West African Examination Council (WAEC) has
adjusted the timetable of the September/October 2015 West
African Senior School Certificate Examination for private
candidates to meet the demand of Muslim candidates.
Head of WAEC's National Office Mr Charles Eguridu
announced this yesterday in Abuja at a media parley with
the Education Correspondents Association of Nigeria
(ECAN).
He said WAEC had rescheduled the examination, which was
to hold on September 25 to October 10 because of the Sallah
festivities.
According to the new timetable, Government 2 (Essay) and
Government 1 (Objective) scheduled for 2 pm and 4 pm on
Friday, September 18, would now hold by 2:30-5:30 pm for
papers 2 and 1 on the same date.
Mathematics (2 & 1) scheduled for Friday, September 25,
was postponed to Saturday October 10, with Paper 2, holding
from 9:30 am to noon and paper 1, from 3-4:30 pm.
He said the examination body was concerned about the
yearning of the people.
His words: "Our Muslim brothers expressed concern about
the timetable. Some papers were scheduled between 2 pm
and 4 pm, and some just before the end of Jumat prayers.
"Our attention has been drawn to this concern and only this
afternoon the chairman of WAEC in Nigeria, called my
attention and we have decided to effect some amendment to
address the concerns of our Muslim brothers."
The board chairman, who is also the director of Basic and
Secondary Education in the Federal Ministry of Education,
Mrs Ann Okonkwo, called on Nigerians to support WAEC in
its efforts to meet growing demands.
She pledged the support of the Federal Government in
ensuring that examination malpractice is reduced.
