The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has revoked the licences of 574 schools caught aiding exam malpractice, barring them from participating in the upcoming 2025 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE).

HIGHLIGHTS:
  • 574 schools across Nigeria have been de-recognised by WAEC.
  • These schools are prohibited from conducting WASSCE starting April 24, 2025.
  • WAEC has shared the list of banned institutions with the federal government.
  • The decision reflects WAEC’s commitment to upholding the integrity of its examinations.
WAEC’s bold move underscores its zero-tolerance policy towards exam malpractice. By revoking the licences of 574 schools, WAEC aims to send a strong message that unethical practices will not be tolerated. This action is expected to deter other institutions from engaging in similar misconduct, thereby promoting fairness and integrity in the education system.

As the 2025 WASSCE approaches, the focus shifts to ensuring a fair and transparent examination process. Will this crackdown lead to a more ethical educational environment? Share your thoughts and stay informed as the situation develops.
