THE West African Examination Council (WAEC) has announced the release of the timetable for the 2020 senior secondary school certificate examination (WASSCE).
The examination council disclosed this through a statement on its official Twitter handle signed by Demianus Ojijeogu, the WAEC Head of Public Affairs.
“The West African Examination Council (WAEC) wishes to inform its stakeholders-schools, parent and candidates that the Final International timetable for the conduct of WASSCE for school candidates, 2020 has been released,” the statement read.
According to the examination body, several versions of the timetable have been circulated, but should be disregarded, because “they did not emanate from the council.”
