What is WAEC?

The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) is an examination board established by law to determine the examinations required in the public interest in the English-speaking West African countries, to conduct the examinations and to award certificates comparable to those of equivalent examining authorities internationally.

It is similar to the Cameroon GCE Board or the Uganda National Examination Board (UNEB).

 The WAEC was established in 1952 and has contributed to education in Anglophonic countries of West Africa (Ghana, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Liberia, and Gambia), with the number of examinations they have coordinated, and certificates they have issued.

They also formed an endowment fund, to contribute to education in West Africa, through lectures, and aid to those who cannot afford education.

The council conducts four different categories of examinations which are;

  • International Examinations,
  • National Examinations,
  • Examinations conducted in collaboration with other examining bodies,
  • and Examinations conducted on behalf of other examining bodies.

 The International exams are exams taken in the five countries with the WAEC ordinance. It consists of WASSCE (West African Senior School Certificate Examination):

  • WASSCE FOR PRIVATE CANDIDATES (FIRST SERIES) JANUARY–FEBRUARY
  • WASSCE FOR (SCHOOL CANDIDATES) MARCH – MAY
