The Federal Government on Monday
said only schools designated as centres for the West African Senior School
Certificate Examinations (WASSCE) and in respect of the exiting classes would
re-open.
Minister of State for Education,
Mr Emeka Nwajiuba, said this at the Presidential Task Force (PTF) on COVID-19
briefing in Abuja.
”All primary schools and all
other classes were excluded,” he said.
Nwajiuba said that WAEC had
agreed that only exams peculiar to Nigeria would be taken from Sept. 5 to Sept.
14, while exams common to all West Africa countries would proceed from Sept.
17.
He said that Nigeria would
domesticate its own time-table for the exams, while revision classes would
start from today.
Nwajiuba also said a report on
state’s preparedness was expected on July 31, which would inform which centres
would open and how they would open and to address all gaps.
He noted that all state
Governors, Commissioners for Education and all other stakeholders had given
their commitment to provide teachers, while WAEC would provide invigilators to
ensure seamless conduct at the centres.
