We Ain’t Ready To Adopt CBT Yet – WAEC by ADEWUMIMichael(op): 7:21am On Jul 16, 2016
Information Reaching us has it that
the West African Examination Council
(WAEC)
made it know today that they are not
yet
ready to adopt the Computer Base
Test (CBT)mode of examination.
This was made known by the Zonal
Coordinator of the examination body
in Abuja, Yusuf Ari.



According to him, despite the fact
that CBT has proven to reduce
examination malpractice, the board
will still stick to the old method
because of the nature of its
examination.



He mentioned that the council does
not only conduct examination in
urban area but also rural areas unlike
JAMB. Again, the council conducts
examination in over 80 subjects with
many of them having components.
English Language for instance,
comes in three components,
consisting of practical, theory and
oral.



He however added that the council
may consider the option after
adequate facilities such as sufficient
computer systems, steady power
supply and other infrastructural
provisions are guaranteed.
