The house of representatives committee on basic education and examination bodies has summoned the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) to answer for concerns about delayed SSCE papers and other irregularities.

The committee, on Thursday, asked the council to appear before it on Friday, May 30, 2025.

The 2025 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) for school candidates commenced on April 24 and is scheduled to conclude on June 20, 2025.

The 2025 WASSCE English paper was scheduled for May 28, but was held hours behind schedule in several centres across the country.

This resulted in late-night papers, with many students across the country groaning from waiting too long.

WAEC said its focus on curbing question leakage unintentionally led to logistical setbacks and delayed the smooth running of the paper. Thecable
