 LASG HOSTS WAEC STATE COMMITTEE MEETING


… As Exam Body Announces Preparation For 2026 Digital Transition, Computer-Based Examination


The Lagos State Ministry of Basic and Secondary Education recently hosted the West African Examination Council (WAEC) State Committee meeting at the Secretariat, Alausa-Ikeja.


The Commissioner for Basic and Secondary Education, Mr. Jamiu Alli-Balogun, who chaired the meeting, reiterated the synergy between the Lagos State Government and the Examination body while reviewing the composition of the State Committee to reflect what is obtainable in the Lagos State Education system, to include the six Tutor-Generals/Permanent Secretaries, Permanent Secretary, Teaching Service Commission (TESCOM), replacing the Inspectorate Division with Office of Education Quality Assurance (OEQA) and Parents Teachers Association (PTA) with the Parents Forum (PF).


Alli-Balogun reaffirmed the State's zero tolerance for examination malpractice, insisting that all contraventions and sanctions, where necessary, be communicated to schools through the Ministry.


The Zonal Coordinator, WAEC, Mr. Rafiu Atoyebi, in his remarks highlighted performance analysis of each State, subject-by-subject result analysis in Nigeria, just as he explained the proposed Computer-Based Testing (CBT) format which will be hybrid and the pilot programme for selected subjects with exams to be held at JAMB-accredited centres.


He further enlightened the management on the Council's digital transition and insistence on a Computer-Based examination transition for school candidates sitting for the May/June 2026 examination.


"No doubt, this transition comes amid fears of stakeholders about the nation's readiness for conducting Computer-Based Examination, especially pointing to technical glitches that initially greeted the release of the year 2025 WASSCE for school candidates," he noted


The Zonal Coordinator, however,  allayed fears about internet connectivity, including candidates in the rural areas, assuring that all candidates who register for the year 2026 WASSCE will write the examination, either onshore or offshore. He maintained that the Computer-Based WASSCE is the way to go and the future of examinations.


According to him, the full transition will eliminate logistics bottlenecks, enhance examination credibility, and drastically reduce incidents of examination malpractices.


The Computer Based-WASSCE is part of WAEC's broader strategy to modernise assessment systems and integrate technology into every stage of examination management from registration and testing to result processing and verification.


The State delegation to the meeting, led by the Commissioner for Basic and Secondary Education, Mr. Jamiu Alli-Balogun, included the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry, Mrs. Abisola Dokunmu-Adegbite; Mrs. Bopo Oyekan-Ismaila, Permanent Secretary, Teaching Service Commission (TESCOM); Dr. Olufunke Oyetola, Mr. Segun Osinaike, Mr. Sanni Layemo and Mrs. Mojisola Yussuf, Tutor-Generals/Permanent Secretaries, Education District I, II, III and VI respectively.
