The news for students and parents is quite a favorable one! The West African Examinations Council has announced that students no longer need to wait for a year to resit any of their WASSCE papers.
It is a major relief to those students who were unfortunate to fail in any one or many subjects or whose results got cancelled.
Resit Examinations: Resit Schedule and Details
Touting the new as WASSCE PC1 program, they have already begun to allow registration for the same. The exams are set to begin from the 28th of January, 2025, to the 15th of February, 2025.
This is an amazing chance for students to go back and redo their examinations and fill in their academic records to avoid wasting their time and efforts.
Students have the option of registering online on their official website or making a visit to an accredited internet café that is WAEC registered and authorized.
The date set by the body for registration’s closure is the 22nd of January, 2025. Parents and guardians should therefore rush and provide assistance to their clients so as to avoid them missing their chance.
Who Is Eligible?
1. Any student who failed one or multiple subjects of their WAEC.
2. Also students whose results was cancelled due to some reasons. However, someone who is under a Ban period for malpractice does not qualify.
Why This Is a Big Deal
Previously, students who failed the WAEC exam had to wait for a very long time to retry their papers as they had to re-register for a private examination. But with the new program, students can retake their papers that they failed in just a couple of weeks.
This will help many students not having to wait for ages to be able to get accepted in the higher institution of their choice or being able to follow their career aspirations.
Preparation Support For Examinations
To assist the students in preparing for their exam, WAEC will share chief examiner reports beforehand. These reports will contain pointers about the commonest errors made by students along with strategies to rectify the errors.
Such criticism will enable candidates to prepare thoroughly for their resit exams.
In Which Regions are These Exams Going To Be Held?
At the moment, the tests will be conducted in the regional main hubs only. This is because the participating students are not that many as stated by WAEC.
As A Parent or Guardian, What Are Your Expectations?
As a parent or guardian, if your child did not pass one or more of the WAEC subjects, rush to do not. Instead, go to the WAEC site and enroll them for the resit exams.
To ensure you do not miss this opportunity, make sure you complete the registration by January 22, 2025.
Parents as well as the students should also pay attention to those simple errors because WAEC urges everyone to read these instructions more closely during registration.
Conclusion
The new policy linked to the resit opportunities continues the work of improving the education business which is managed by WAEC.
With this programme, students can quickly recover from academic setbacks and continue their journey towards success.
If you are a student or know someone who needs to resit their WAEC exams, do not delay. Take advantage of this opportunity and secure a brighter future.
