The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has launched an innovative initiative aimed at reducing delays for candidates needing to retake one or two WASSCE papers.
Dubbed WASSCE PC1, this new system will allow students to resit specific subjects in January and February 2025, eliminating the traditional waiting period for the next examination cycle.
John Kapi, WAEC’s Head of Public Affairs, described the move as a significant milestone for education in West Africa. “This initiative offers students a timely opportunity to improve their grades and maintain academic progression,” he stated.
Kapi outlined the registration process, noting that students have until January 8, 2025, to register online via WAEC’s website or through accredited internet cafés. The exams will run from January 24 to February 15, 2025.
Initially, the exams will be conducted in regional capitals, as the maiden edition is expected to attract a relatively small number of candidates.
Kapi emphasised that this approach ensures efficiency and accessibility for participants.
“Students can now avoid a year-long academic setback, thanks to this initiative,” he added, encouraging prospective candidates to take advantage of the registration period.
