<p>The West African Examinations Council has conducted a trial test on essay writing ahead of the Computer-Based WASSCE for School Candidates in 2026.</p>
<p>The exercise, led by the Head of WAEC’s Nigeria National Office, Dr Amos Dangut, took place on Thursday at the WAEC Training and Testing Centre, Ogba, Lagos.</p>
<p>Senior secondary school students participated in the trial, designed to familiarise them with the upcoming computer-based format combining both objective and essay components.</p><div class="MuV80ENH" style="clear:both;float:left;width:100%;margin:0 0 20px 0;"><script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>

<p>Recall that the council in September reaffirmed its plan to migrate the WASSCE to a fully CBT format by 2026.</p>
<p>It said the transition, which began with private candidates in 2024, has already made “significant progress” and will be scaled up nationwide ahead of next year’s deadline.</p>
<p>Dangut told the students that they were making history as the first group to attempt a full computer-based test combining both objectives and essays.</p>
<p>He added that while some schools will take both components online, those in areas without computer access will continue with the traditional essay format.</p>
<p>“Our goal is to create an inclusive system where every student can write conveniently, regardless of location,” Dangut said.</p>
<p>He assured all that the new system will make the examination more efficient and accessible, ensuring fairness and comfort for all participating candidates.</p>
<p>Dangut reaffirmed WAEC’s commitment to maintaining the integrity and credibility of its examinations while helping students achieve academic excellence.</p>
<p>He urged students to embrace digital learning, describing technology-driven examinations as the future of education and a key to global competitiveness.</p>
