The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has released the Final International Timetable for the conduct of its earlier rescheduled West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) for school candidates.
WAEC did this in conformity with adjustments proposed by the Nigerian government to reflect its modified school resumption date by two weeks.
Spokesperson of WAEC Nigeria, Mr Demainus Ojijeogu in statement on Tuesday also warned the public of the existence of many fake timetables in circulation in recent times.
“The Council notes that several versions of the examination timetable have been in circulation and enjoins the general public to disregard them as they did not emanate from it,” the statement read in part.
It announced through the statement to stakeholders-schools, parents and candidates that the examination which has been slated to begin on Monday, 17th August, 2020 will end on Saturday, 12th September, 2020.
“The Council hereby urges the candidates to abide by the rules and regulations guiding the conduct of the examination by shunning all acts of malpractice and obeying all Covid-19 protocols that have been put in place at the examination centres,” the statement added.
The examining body also wished the candidates success in the examination.
