WAEC's vision is to be a world-class examining
body, adding value to the educational goals of its numerous
stakeholders. It's mission is that of West Africa's foremost
examining body, developing and maintaining internationally accepted
procedures in examinations, providing qualitative and reliable
educational assessment, encouraging academic and moral excellence
among the youth and promoting sustainable human resource
development, mutual understanding and international
cooperation.
In its fifty five years of existence, the Council
has achieved its mission in very large measure. For instance it has
over the years developed a team of well-trained and highly motivated
staff and has administered examinations that are both valid and
relevant to the educational aspirations of member countries. Its
certificates enjoy international recognition. WAEC has also been
promoting the ideals of hardwork and honesty in the youth through
its awards for outstanding performance in its examinations.
The
Council conducts several international and national examinations in
all member countries except Nigeria where it has shed all but one of
its examinations, The West African Senior School Certificate
Examination (WASSCE) for school candidates in May/June and Private
candidates in November/December.
