WAEC’s Head of Public Affairs, John Kapi, has described this move as a significant milestone for education in the region.
Students who want to participate in the WASSCE PC1 program must register online through the WAEC website or accredited internet cafés by January 8, 2025.
The examinations will take place from January 24 to February 15, 2025, in regional capitals.
This initiative is expected to benefit a relatively small number of candidates in its first year.
In the past, students had to wait for the next examination cycle to retake failed papers, which often caused delays in their academic progress.
The WASSCE PC1 program aims to address this issue and provide a more efficient solution for students looking to improve their grades.
Kapi emphasised that this approach ensures efficiency and accessibility for participants.
