In an effort to broaden its scope, the West
African Examinations Council International
Office (WIO) in Lagos, says it was set to re-
introduce electronic marking for its tests.
The Head of the Office, Mr Adelowo Maliki,
disclosed this in an interview with
newsmen on Monday in Lagos.
According to him, the marking before now
was done with some foreign partners
based in the United Kingdom.
“We started this electronic marking in 2014
through to 2015, only for us to suspend it
in 2016, due to high costs as regards the
high exchange rate.
“But now, we are set to bring it back as
we have gotten all necessary approvals
from the council’s committee meetings and
the council itself.
That is to say that WAEC will no longer mark it by themselves but with the use of Electronic.
