WAEC to Stop Schools from Registering External Candidates

The West African Examination Council (WAEC) will not allow external candidates who are not original students of a school to sit for the final examinations from henceforth. The coordinator of WAEC in Plateau, Basil Inyang, made the announcement at a stakeholder’s forum on “Eradication of Examination Malpractice’’, organised by the National Orientation Agency, NOA, in Jos. The coordinator also said that once a student failed the examination, the said student would not be availed the opportunity to register in the succeeding year. He said the examination body will soon cancel the registration of external candidates by secondary schools.
