The West African Examinations Council has hailed the Ekiti State Government for the upgrade of ICT facilities in its public schools ahead of transitioning the West African Senior School Certificate Examination to a Computer-Based Test format in the state.

WAEC Branch Controller in Ekiti State, Amos Dogari, said the effort “will help in ensuring that both students and teachers are prepared for the new system” and assist in improving examination integrity and provision of a conducive environment for digital literacy.

A statement made available on Tuesday stated that Dogari, who spoke in Ado Ekiti during an advocacy visit to the state Commissioner for Education, Olabimpe Aderiye, on the WAEC WASSCE CBT format, lauded the state government’s proactive efforts in preparing for the new system.

The WAEC branch controller, who said that the meeting was highly productive, noted that the deliberation was necessary to discuss the modalities for the planned migration to computer-based WASSCE towards achieving the desired goals.

He said, “Sensitisation programmes will be conducted across the three senatorial districts of the state to enlighten stakeholders – students, teachers and parents – on the new process to encourage informed actions, reduce possible conflict, and achieve an environment where individuals and groups feel personally invested in and accountable for achieving desired results.

“The WAEC WASSCE CBT format is a hybrid model where multiple-choice (objective) questions are answered on-screen, while essay and practical questions are displayed on-screen and answered in provided paper booklets.

“It is primarily aimed at modernising and streamlining the examination process, offering faster result processing, improved efficiency, enhanced security against malpractice, and better adaptability to technological advancements,” Dogari said.

The branch controller clarified that the state government was not indebted to WAEC in any form.

The commissioner, Aderiye, who assured that all public secondary schools in the state had been equipped with laptops, reiterated the state government’s commitment to technological advancement in its schools.

She said that the existing facilities could be utilised in transitioning to computer-based WASSCE in the state.

Akelicious recently reported WAEC’s reaffirmation of its plan to migrate the WASSCE to a fully computer-based format by 2026.

The Head of WAEC’s National Office, Dr Amos Dangut, who spoke during a sensitisation meeting with members of the National Assembly Committee on Education in Abuja, said the transition, which began with private candidates in 2024, has already made “significant progress” and would be scaled up nationwide ahead of next year’s deadline.

“We have conducted five exams already, one for private candidates and one for school candidates, and by 2026, deployment will be massive,” he said.
