WASSCE 2021 and Caution to students
Students need to work hard in the examination and avoid every form of temptation to cheat in the examination. We believe teachers have done their best to prepare the various candidates for the examination. Students on their part have been preparing for the examination. Any attempt to seek leaked examination questions or cheat in the examination can put the student in harm’s way.
We hope candidates are disciplined enough to ensure the agitations of 2020 candidates that led to the insulting of the president do not repeat itself. The WASSCE 2021 starts today officially with practicals. We wish all candidates the very best of luck in their practicals and the main examination.
Below is a simplified timetable for the 2021 West African Examination for final year students in second cycle institutions.
Students must keep their focus and build the necessary confidence for the examination.
