Summary of the Meeting between School Representatives and WAEC held in respect of 2026 exams.
1. The 2026 WASSCE will be fully computer-based, with no paper-based option.
2. All students will be registered in their respective schools, but WAEC will assign them to designated examination centers.
3. Schools willing to serve as WAEC/CBT centers should notify WAEC as soon as possible.
4. WAEC is particularly seeking more schools in the Lekki/Ajah/Epe axis to indicate interest, as these will be prioritized before additional schools are considered.
5. Objective examinations will be entirely computer-based, with three papers scheduled to be written in a single day.
6. Essay/Theory examinations will be conducted in school halls and projected for students. No question papers will be distributed; only answer scripts will be provided.
7. Practical examinations will be center-based, and supervising teachers must be IT-compliant. Such teachers may or may not be from the host examination center.
8. Practical materials are to be provided by the schools whose candidates are assigned to write at a given center.
9. Schools are not mandated to purchase computers specifically for this purpose. Examinations will hold for all candidates regardless of a school’s readiness.
10. Schools approved as examination centers will be paid by WAEC, even if their own candidates also benefit.
11. A minimum of 50 functional computers is required for a school to be considered as a CBT center, provided it can also accommodate candidates from other schools.
