The council said it had therefore made available several online resources for candidates and pupils sitting for its terminal examination, adding that it was working on making online tutorials available for them.
The Head, WAEC Public Affairs, Mr Damian Ojijeogu, in an interview with our correspondent, said there might not be time for candidates to begin preparations when the council brings out its new timetable after the pandemic.
He said, “The turn-out of the use of our online resources by candidates has been encouraging. We have been getting great feedback. Even those who could not log in initially have been assisted to do so. All the subjects are covered.
“When the lockdown period is over, we will release the new timetable. It is not good that the candidates are idle at home. So, the online resources will help them to revise and it will assist them to avoid the mistakes of those who have written our examination in the past.
“There may not be enough for candidates to prepare for the examination after the pandemic. Those who need online tutors are being provided with such. We hope the pandemic will end and life will return to normal.”
Recall that WAEC, on March 20, announced the postponement of its school certificate examination until further notice due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
