• WASSCE starts August 17, teachers union undertakes to monitor schoolsFriday Olokor, Grace Edema and Olufemi Olaniyi The Federal Government on Monday said the Senior Secondary School 3 pupils will r
esume on August 4 in preparation for the West African Senior School Certificate Examination, which is starting on August 17.
But the Federal Government, after the Federal Executive Council meeting on July 8, said it had suspended the plan to recall graduating pupils for WASSCE because of the COVID-19 spread. It stated, “It was agreed that the exit classes should resume immediately after the Sallah break, from August 4, 2020 to enable them to prepare for the WASSCE scheduled to commence from August 17, 2020.
“We have always maintained here in the South-West region that such a sensitive matter was never going to be solved by an executive fiat from the central government. “We want to appeal to the Federal Government to ensure that all the commissioners of education all over the country provide all that is needed to keep both teachers and pupils in safety during the period of revision and the exam.“Most of the commissioners at the stakeholders’ meeting today all boasted that they had 90 per cent of everything needed to provide safety measures for the teachers and pupils, but we want to remind them that talk is cheap. It is important they do the needful.
