Expert reacts to WAEC’s introduction of CBT
Earlier, Legit.ng reported that the board chairman of MIMS Educational Services, Prince Adesegun Ogungbayi, said the decision of WAEC to adopt the Computer-Based Test (CBT) mode in the conduct of the Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE), "should not call for celebration".
Ogungbayi said he would be interested to see how the initiative works when it makes its debut in February 2024.
Ogungbayi expressed doubts, saying education stakeholders might not be entirely convinced by WAEC's new idea.
