Apr 22, 2025
WAEC has barred 574 secondary schools in Nigeria from conducting the 2025 WASSCE due to confirmed examination malpractice
The examination body stated that the affected schools’ licences have been revoked and their recognition as exam centres withdrawn
Nearly 2 million students from over 23,000 schools have registered for the 2025 WASSCE, which begins on Thursday, April 24, 2025
The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has withdrawn the licences of 574 secondary schools in Nigeria, barring them from participating in the conduct of the 2025 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE), scheduled to begin on Thursday, April 24.
The announcement was made by Dr Amos Dangut, Head of WAEC’s National Office, during a press briefing held at the Council’s headquarters in Yaba, Lagos.
Schools caught in exam malpractice scandal
Dr Dangut revealed that the punitive action followed confirmed cases of examination malpractice at the affected schools.
As a result, the institutions will no longer be recognised as examination centres for any WAEC-conducted exams.
“This year, we have shared with the government a total of 574 schools that have had their recognition withdrawn. These schools had their licences revoked due to misconduct during previous examinations.
