The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has dismissed reports alleging that it issued a directive restricting senior secondary students to specific subjects for the forthcoming 2026 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) for school candidates.
WASSCE’s acting Head of Public Affairs; Moyosola Adeshina described the reports as “unfounded assumptions” and urged schools and the General Public to disregard them.
This comes amid recent social media reports suggesting that schools had been directed to limit students’ subject combinations for the 2026 examination.
