20% pass WAEC
December 23, 2010
Lagos — Only 20.04 per cent or 62,295 candidates
obtained credit pass in English, Mathematics and
three other subjects in the Nov./Dec. 2010 West
African Senior School Certificate Examination,
WASSCE.
Head of the Nigerian National Office of the West
African Examination Council, WAEC, Dr Iyi Uwadiae at
a press conference, yesterday, in Lagos said the result
was not impressive.
He said 310,077 candidates sat for the examination
with 51,876 of them, representing 16.73 per cent,
being withheld for their involvement in “alleged
malpractice.”
“A total of 133,507 candidates (43.06 per cent)
obtained credit and above in English Language, while
151,569 candidates (48.88 per cent) obtained credit
and above in Mathematics, ” he said.
Uwadiae told journalists that 33 blind candidates
took the examination and only four of them got
credit passes in five subjects including English
Language.
Blind candidates are exempted by regulation from
registering for mathematics and science based
subjects.
“ All the reports on cases of involvement in
examination malpractice have been complied for
presentation to the Nigerian Examination Committee
of the Council in March, ” he said.
Uwadiae said the result was released two weeks
ahead of schedule to enable students use these for
registration purposes in higher institutions that had
admitted them.
He told journalists that WAEC would soon modernise
its examination model to the e_testing format
(electronic test) but that the process was at its
experimental stage.
“The quick release of the result is due to the
commitment of the markers and the effective
application of our new computer software for
processing results, ” he said.
