Personal Protective Equipment, more classrooms, supervisors and invigilators will be required to conduct the 2020 West African Senior Secondary Certificate Examination for school candidates, due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Mr Patrick Areghan, the Head of National Office (HNO) of the West African Examinations Council (WAEC), who made the disclosure on Tuesday at a news conference in Lagos, also warned that inadequate preparation would not be an excuse for examination malpractice.

Areghan said that the examination which will hold from August 3 to September 5, would be conducted from Monday to Saturday.

He added that candidates would sit two meters apart from one another.

We reported that the examination was initially scheduled to take place from April 6 to June 5, but had to be postponed due to the pandemic.

"We are here to acquaint you all with our preparations and readiness for the conduct of the much-awaited WASSCE for school candidates, 2020.

"This examination, which will now hold between August 3 and September 5, covering a space of five weeks, will have candidates sitting two meters apart.
