The Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT) has dropped a bombshell, saying that a shift to computer-based examinations by the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) and the National Examinations Council (NECO) will not eliminate malpractices
The NUT National President, Comrade Audu Amba, stated this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Sunday in Abuja
Amba was reacting to the recent directive by the Federal Government that WAEC and NECO should fully transit to Computer-Based Testing (CBT) for their examinations by 2026.
NAN reports that by the directive, both multiple-choice and essay papers by the two bodies would be administered via computer, starting with the May/June 2026 examination cycle.
Specifically, WAEC is expected to begin conducting objective exams via CBT starting in November 2025.
The Minister of Education, Dr Tunji Alausa, who announced the federal government’s decision had said that switching to CBT for WAEC and NECO examinations would enhance efficiency, and reduce malpractices.
