Missed a WASSCE for School Paper?

In related news, WAEC has advised final-year Senior High School students who were prevented from sitting for a WASSCE for School paper due to lateness to register for the WASSCE for Private Candidates (Nov/Dec) and sit for the missed paper.

“We have the school examination and the private examination, so for those who miss the opportunity of writing that particular paper on the day, they will have to register and write the WASSCE for Private Candidates,” a WAEC spokesperson stated.
