The Federal Government has revealed that privately-owned Computer-Based Test centres and others belonging to public institutions would be fully deployed in the conduct of the school-based Senior School Certificate Examination by next year.

Minister of Education, Dr Tunji Alausa, made this known after monitoring a pilot CBT SSCE conducted by the National Examinations Council at Sascon International School, Maitama, on Tuesday in Abuja.

Alausa, who hailed NECO for the seamless conduct of the pilot phase of the CBT SSCE, said that future school-based SSCEs would be moved to designated CBT centres, rather than being held within schools.

He said, “WAEC and NECO exams are school-based exams being conducted at their schools. No, we will move away from that. Punch
