Hundreds of high school students across the country are expected to join their colleagues from other West African countries to write the 2018 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) on Tuesday, April 4, the Minister of Education has confirmed. It is administered by the National offices of the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) to candidates residing in Anglophone West African countries. Acording to Minister Ansu D. Sonii, the students are expected to complete writing the exam in three weeks. Unlike students in other West African countries who will write the exam in 14 different subjects, Sonii said Liberian students will this year write nine different exam papers. He said the MoE will give high schools a period of two years, to create spaces that will be used to conduct WASSCE, like is being done in other neighboring countries.
