The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has expressed satisfaction with the successful conduct of the 2025 Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE), describing its performance as commendable despite a few logistical challenges.
Speaking on Citi Eyewitness News on Tuesday June 17, the Head of Public Affairs at WAEC, John Kapi, stated that the Council had fulfilled its responsibility of ensuring a smooth examination process for all candidates nationwide.
“I will say that on our part, we will pat ourselves on the back and say that we did a good job,” he said. “Usually, after examinations, what you expect as an examining body is that every candidate is provided the opportunity to write—in terms of questions, in terms of stationery. All of these things went to the candidates.”
Mr. Kapi acknowledged a few minor issues, including delays in the delivery of exam materials. In one instance, he noted, a vehicle broke down while transporting question papers, while in another case, the difficult terrain and long distance to a centre caused a delay.
He emphasised that the issues were quickly addressed. “On subsequent days, they decided to provide an extra vehicle, and so they were able to make it in good time,” he added.
Meanwhile, the last paper for the 2025 BECE is Arabic (Essay & Objective) and it will take place tomorrow Wednesday, June 18, 2025.
