FCTA Monitors WAEC English Examination, Applauds High Compliance Across Schools
The integrity of public examinations remains a key measure of the strength of any education system, and authorities in the Federal Capital Territory say recent monitoring efforts have shown encouraging signs of compliance and professionalism.
The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA), through its Education Resource Centre (ERC), has commended schools across the territory for adhering to examination guidelines during the ongoing West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) English Language paper.
Leading a monitoring team to selected examination centres, Director of the Education Resource Centre, Neemat Daud Abdulrahim, said the exercise was aimed at ensuring strict compliance with examination standards, safeguarding the credibility of the process and providing candidates with a conducive environment for success.
She expressed satisfaction with the conduct of the examination, noting that candidates demonstrated seriousness while officials carried out their responsibilities professionally.
According to her, examination halls were orderly, invigilators were diligent, and students complied with established rules and regulations.
Abdulrahim attributed the positive learning and examination environment in FCT schools to ongoing investments in education infrastructure by the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, including the renovation and upgrading of educational facilities across the territory.
Also speaking, Titilayo Hajara Alayande emphasised that quality assurance remains vital to sustaining public confidence in the education system.
She praised school administrators, teachers, supervisors and invigilators for maintaining high standards and ensuring the smooth conduct of the examination.
The monitoring team visited public and private schools, including centres operating Computer-Based Examination (CBE) and Paper-and-Pencil Testing (PPT) systems.
Among the schools inspected were Government Secondary School Garki and Olumawu School, where examination activities were reported to be orderly, with materials delivered promptly and candidates commencing their papers as scheduled.
Education officials said the exercise forms part of broader efforts to strengthen quality assurance, curb examination malpractice and equip students across the FCT for future academic and leadership success.
