       The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has disclosed that
       the conduct of its examination for private candidates would be
       twice in a year with effect from 2017.
       This was made known by the council Registrar, Dr Iyi Uwadiae,
       who interacted with newsmen at the Registrar’s Staff Appraisal
       Committee meeting held on Wednesday in Accra, Ghana.
       He added that the West Africa Senior School Certificate
       Examination (WASSCE) for private candidates known as the
       November/December diet for private candidates will now be
       conducted in January/February and August/September.
       He said the measure is to ensure that many private candidates,
       who desire the certificate for various purposes, will have the
       opportunity of writing the examination and acquire the
       certificate.
       He also added that they have concluded arrangements to commence
       next year. He noted that this development will not affect that
       of May/June, that remains once a year for all schools
       candidates.
       He concluded by saying this is part of its mandate to render
       qualitative service to all member nations, the council is
       looking forward to a more rewarding 2017.
