WAEC Sets New CBT Rules: 250 PCs & CCTV for Schools

He added that schools unable to meet the requirements would be assigned to designated centers.

“WAEC will not lower the standards. Any school that wants to host the exams within its premises must provide the required equipment and infrastructure,” Akim stated.

Also speaking, the Rivers State Chairman of the National Association of Proprietors of Private Schools, Mr. Sunday Jaja, encouraged school owners to leverage funding opportunities from the Bank of Industry and the Federal Government’s MSME intervention fund to finance the transition.

“Technology is playing a vital role in modern education. This initiative will enable schools to stay abreast of current trends and prepare students for the digital age,” Jaja said.

The sensitization event was jointly organized by Teadro Systems Ltd., NAPPS, and partners, including the Bank of Industry, HP, Lenovo, and Canon.

The highlight was the donation of ICT gadgets, including computers, printers, and tablets, to schools through a raffle draw.
