The Federal Government has said Secondary schools in the country will reopen on August 4, 2020 for pupils in exit classes to sit for their examination.

The government said students will have two weeks to prepare for the West Africa Senior School Certificate Examination organised by the West Africa Examination Council.

WAEC exams, the government said will commence on 17th of August, 2020.

The government announced the decision at the end of a virtual consultative meeting between the Federal Ministry of Education, Commissioners of Education of the 36 states, the Nigerian Union of Teachers, (NUT), the proprietors of private schools, and Chief Executives of examination bodies.

In a statement by the Director, Press and Public Relations, FMoE, Ben Goong, said “stakeholders at the meeting agreed that the exit classes should resume immediately after the Sallah break, from the 4th of August, 2020 to enable them prepare for the WAEC examinations scheduled to commence from the 17th of August, 2020.

"The meeting also resolved that a passionate appeal be made to the Federal Government through the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 and public spirited Nigerians for assistance to schools across the country to enable them fast track the preparations of safe reopening, as agreed.

“Another meeting is to be convened tomorrow between the Federal Ministry of Education and Chief Executives of examination bodies namely, NECO, NABTEB and NBAIS to harmonise their examination dates, which will be conveyed to stakeholders expeditiously by the Federal Ministry of Education."

Good!

It is long over due

This shows the apt leaders we have, preparing for waec in just two weeks, you closed schools for months, giving two weeks to prepare the students, if there is mass failure you blame the students.,,,,tcheew

Ok

Oh no...

Good news please next shld be intl flight

hope they'll not revert the decision again, just Iike they did in past..

Adamu the mumu has finally bow to pressure.

Keeping these children at home is not good for their future.

Covid19 ain't going anytime soon.

Two weeks is too little a time to prepare for WAEC in this period, when most of the candidates have used the period of the lockdown to chat away their brains.
I wish them all the best!!!

they cancelled waec you people complained, they allowed waec to hold and you're still complaining. Eventually the government will ignore the masses and do just what they want and then you will blame them of tyranny
