The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has denied reports that it instructed senior secondary students to offer specific subjects for the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) in 2026.
Addressing the issue, WAEC Acting Head of Public Affairs, Moyosola Adeshina, called the reports unfounded.
He also clarified that the development and regulation of curricula in Nigeria fall under the purview of the Federal Government, and the Council only implements government policies through assessment.
“The introduction or modification of any curriculum in Nigeria is a function of the Federal Government.
“WAEC operates strictly within the established legal and operational frameworks of its host country.
“Schools, stakeholders, and the general public are advised to disregard the misleading reports and rely solely on official communications from the Council for accurate information regarding examination guidelines for WASSCE (SC) 2026,” Adeshina stated. (SUN)
