The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) suspended the 2020 West African Senior Secondary Certificate Examination (WASSCE).

This suspension became necessary due to the outbreak of the deadly coronavirus.

A statement signed by the Head of Public Affairs WAEC, Agnes Teye-Cudjoe said that “this is in line with the protocols put in place by governments of WAEC member countries to prevent the spread of the virus”.
