“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.

“This will take place in January /February and August/September every year in all the member countries.” According to Leadership, he stressed that this development, does not affect the May/June, WASSCE, which remains once a year for all candidates.
