Commissioners of Education of the six states in the South-West region of the country have expressed readiness to prepare their respective Senior Secondary School three (SSS3) students for the 2020 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE).

This is as they have set an August 3, 2020 resumption date for the graduating students, while state governments will be directly requesting the West African Examination Council (WAEC) to postpone the commencement of this year’s WASSCE to August 24.

The request for three weeks postponement from the earlier planned August 3rd commencement date is to allow the students in the region to have at least three weeks to prepare for the forthcoming Examination.

This was part of resolutions reached at a virtual meeting of the Commissioners of Education, Special Advisers of Education and Chairmen, State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB) of the six states in the region and the Development Agenda for Western of Nigeria (DAWN) Commission.

In spite of the opposition of Federal Government to the Country writing the 2020 WASSCE, the state governments will be approaching the central government to see the need to ask WAEC to postpone the 2020 Exam for at least three to allow schools to put adequate measures on ground that would ensure the safety of students, teachers and even the of the Examination body.
