WAEC 2011/2012 May/June Results Out, Check Yours and Details Here
The West African Examinations Council was established in 1952 following the acceptance of the Jeffery Report by the then colonial Government(s) in the Gold Coast (now Ghana), Nigeria, Sierra-Leone and the Gambia; who passed appropriate ordinances in their Legislative Assemblies in 1951. The ordinances charged the Council with the responsibility of determining the examinations required in the public interest in West Africa, and empowered it to conduct such examinations and award appropriate certificates. The Jeffery Report had strongly recommended the setting up of a West African Examinations Council in the then four British colonies of Nigeria, Gold Coast, Sierra-Leone and The Gambia. Liberia later joined the Council in 1974. WAEC's vision is to be a world-class examining body, adding value to the educational goals of its numerous stakeholders. It's mission is that of West Africa's foremost examining body, developing and maintaining internationally accepted procedures in examinations, providing qualitative and reliable educational assessment, encouraging academic and moral excellence among the youth and promoting sustainable human resource development, mutual understanding and international cooperation.
