The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has officially opened online portals for schools to complete the necessary recognition process and upload Continuous Assessment Scores (CASS) data for candidates participating in the 2025 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE). Schools are encouraged to ensure that all relevant data is submitted within the stipulated deadlines to guarantee their participation in the upcoming examination.
Key Dates and Requirements
WAEC has outlined specific timelines for schools wishing to present candidates for the 2025 WASSCE:
School Recognition Portal: Schools seeking approval to present candidates for the 2025 WASSCE must complete their recognition process between 2 September and 13 December 2024. This includes making the necessary payments and completing the application process within the given timeframe.
CASS Upload Portal: Schools are required to upload their Continuous Assessment Scores for CASS 1 and CASS 2 from 2 September to 20 December 2024. This data is an essential part of the examination process, and failure to upload it by the deadline will result in disqualification from presenting candidates for the exam.
Important Instructions
WAEC has emphasized the importance of adhering to the deadlines. The portals for both school recognition and CASS data upload will close at midnight on the due dates, and no further requests will be entertained after the closing time. Schools are therefore urged to ensure that all necessary steps are completed well before the final dates.
WAEC’s Commitment to Transparency and Efficiency
This announcement marks another effort by WAEC to streamline and enhance the examination process for the 2025 WASSCE. By providing a clear timeline and detailed instructions, WAEC aims to minimize delays and ensure a smooth registration process for all participating schools and candidates.
For schools seeking to present candidates for the 2025 WASSCE, completing the school recognition and CASS upload process before the deadlines is crucial. Schools must act swiftly to ensure their candidates are registered and their data is properly submitted, enabling them to participate in the upcoming examination without issues. With the portals now open, schools are advised to prioritize these tasks to meet the specified deadlines and avoid any complications.
