The West African Examinations Council has firmly refuted circulating stories claiming it ordered schools to narrow student choices for the upcoming 2026 senior secondary certification tests.
Statement from Leadership
On Tuesday, a representative from the council’s communications team released a note dismissing the allegations as baseless speculation. Schools and citizens were advised to ignore such misinformation.
Social Media Misinformation
Recent online posts implied directives limiting course selections for the next assessment cycle. The body stressed no such instructions originated from them.
Role Clarification
The organization explained it handles testing based on established national education plans, without authority to alter program content. That power rests with government education departments.
Explicit Rejection
The release stated the council never imposed barriers on learner options for the 2026 evaluations, labeling the idea entirely inaccurate.
Government Oversight
Curriculum design and adjustments fall under federal control. The council merely administers assessments aligned with approved standards.
Assurance on Changes
Any future modifications would follow proper procedures, not sudden impositions.
Historical Background
Founded over seven decades ago, the council oversees evaluations in multiple regional nations, upholding standards of integrity in grading.
Public Guidance
Educational institutions and interested parties should consult direct council announcements for reliable details on test protocols.
Commitment to Fairness
The body pledged continued dedication to impartial and high-quality evaluation, ensuring no participant faces unfair hurdles.
