Press Update
Briefing the media on details of the partial reopening of schools on Tuesday, Education Minister, Matthew Opoku-Prempeh, announced that exams will span across five weeks after the tuition period.











Students have continued to remain at home but from all indications, schools might resume any moment from now and as soon as schools resume, fresh timetables for the two examinations would be released.

This means that if the students are not careful, the examinations may meet them unaware. So rather than lazying around, spending all day on social media, watching home videos or visiting friends, here is what I think the students need to do:

Get the syllabus
Draw a personal Timetable
Start studying on time
Read wide
Enrol in Tutorials
As a student preparing for WAEC/ NECO, you must start by studying very hard so that the examination doesn’t become an unexpected visitor.
