The schools’ licences were revoked after they were found guilty of various forms of examination malpractices.

According to WAEC, the schools would no longer be allowed to conduct examination starting from the 2025 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE).

The 2025 WASSCE has been scheduled to commence on Thursday, April 24, 2025.

Making the declaration on Thursday, Amos Dangut, the head of WAEC’s national office said the list of the affected schools has been sent to the Federal Government for onward action.

“This year, we have shared with them a total of 574 schools that have their recognition withdrawn and that is also going to be the same for all examining bodies.

“So, these are those that have got their license revoked as far as the examination centre is concerned. So we will not conduct examinations there. We don’t know them as far as conducting examinations” Dangut said.
