WAEC PRO explain purpose of WASSCE for Private Candidates One
The WASSCE for Private Candidates One also known as WASSCE PC1 is an initiative designed to assist candidates who wish to resit one or two papers without waiting an entire year, the Head of Public Affairs, John Kapi has explained.
“Students who access their results now and realise they need to resit one or two papers have until 8th January to register online through our website or at WAEC-accredited internet cafés,” he said speaking on JoyNews’ AM Show
Speaking on JoyNews’ AM Show monitored by Pretertiary.com, the spokesperson for the Council said the examination will primarily be conducted in regional capitals due to the relatively low number of candidates for the first series.
“We’ve advertised this programme widely through banners, our website, and our results checker platform to ensure that both students and parents are aware,” John Kapi said.
Asked who is eligible to sit the WASSCE for Private Candidates One, he said students whose WASSCE for School results have been cancelled due to malpractice are eligible to register, provided they have not been banned from taking the examination.
The West African Examinations Council spokesperson said the WASSCE PC1 initiative also aims to assist candidates in quickly improving their grades to meet admission requirements for the next academic year.
The WAEC official urged prospective candidates to visit the West African Examinations Council’s website for detailed registration instructions adding that registration is done online or at WAEC-accredited internet cafés.
“This initiative will allow candidates to improve their grades and qualify for the next cycle of admissions, avoiding a year-long delay in their academic progress,” the Public Relations Officer for the not-for-profit organization said.
