WAEC Clears Rumour on Alleged Restriction of Students to Specific Subjects

WAEC Clears Rumour on Alleged Restriction of Students to Specific Subjects.

The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has noted with concern recent media publications that alleged that the Council directed the restriction of Senior Secondary students to offer specific subject(s) for the forthcoming West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) for School Candidates (SC) 2026.

WAEC wishes to categorically distance itself from this unfounded assumption and the information making the rounds on the said subject. WAEC hereby affirms that the Council did not issue any such directive(s) nor restrict the choice of students to offer any particular subject(s) for WASSCE (SC) 2026 as alleged.

We wish to point out to all stakeholders and the general public, that the development and regulation of Curricula in Nigeria is within the purview of the Federal Government of Nigeria. WAEC, as an examination body only comes in to implement Government policies via assessment.

As a law-abiding organization, WAEC operates strictly within the established legal and operational frameworks of its host country. The introduction or modification of any curriculum in Nigeria is a function of the Federal Government. We emphasize that changes in the Curricula are not implemented arbitrarily by the Council, but by following due process as mandated by the Federal Government.

Schools, stakeholders and the general public are hereby advised to disregard the misleading reports and rely solely on official communications from the Council for accurate information regarding examination guidelines for WASSCE (SC) 2026.

We assure our stakeholders that WAEC remains dedicated to professionalism and excellence in the service of the Nigerian Child. The Council guarantees that all candidates participating in the WASSCE for School Candidates, 2026 will be afforded fair opportunity in assessment, ensuring that no candidate is disenfranchised.
