Federal Government Announces Transition to CBT for WAEC and NECO Exams

The Federal Government has confirmed that it will proceed with the transition to Computer-Based Testing (CBT) for West African Examinations Council (WAEC) and National Examinations Council (NECO) exams by 2026. Minister of Education, Tunji Alausa, made the announcement during a guest appearance on Channels Television's The Morning Brief program.

Background:

- The decision follows growing concerns about the integrity of public examinations, particularly after the release of poor UTME results.
- Over 1.5 million out of 1.95 million candidates scored below 200 out of 400 in the 2025 UTME.

Rationale:

- Alausa emphasized that CBT would help eliminate cheating and ensure the integrity of exams.
- He noted that WAEC and NECO exams have been plagued by cheating, unlike JAMB's CBT system, which has strong security measures in place.

Implementation Timeline:

- WAEC and NECO will commence the migration to CBT in November 2025, starting with objective papers.
- Full implementation, including essay components, is expected by May-June 2026.

Government's Commitment:

- Alausa reiterated the government's commitment to using technology to fight exam malpractice.
- He expressed disappointment at the prevalence of cheating in WAEC and NECO exams, which puts candidates at a disadvantage when facing JAMB's CBT system.
