The expectations and anxiety are often high and that even cause some candidates to dodge examinations. All of us, including parents, teachers and stakeholders, would have to intensify our support and guidance services to all candidates for them to have the needed skills and confidence to write well”, he said. Available data from the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has revealed that a total of 509,737 candidates from 16,058 schools sat this year’s BECE in 1,768 centres in the country.
