Date: 2024-11-08

As reported by Punch, the Kwara State Government has set the West Africa Examinations Council (WAEC) fee for senior secondary school students in public schools at N30,250 for the 2024/2025 academic year.

Announced by the Commissioner for Education and Human Capital Development, Hajia Sa'adatu Modibbo-Kawu, this amount includes N27,000 for WAEC charges and an additional N3,250 for e-registration and administrative fees.

The Commissioner shared this information on Wednesday during an address to senior secondary school principals across the state at Saint Anthony's Secondary School in Ilorin, marking the beginning of the West African Schools Certificate Examination registration process.

A statement released by the Press Secretary in the Ministry of Education and Human Capital Development, Peter Amogbonjaye, made available to PUNCH correspondents in Ilorin on Thursday said, “We have warned the principals to shun extortion during the registration, saying whoever is found wanting would face the consequences of such an act.

“The Ministry will not tolerate extra charges from any principal apart from the ones approved by the Ministry of Education and Human Capital Development, warning them against all acts that can dent their images during the examination.”

Modibbo-Kawu, however, tasked the principals with continuing to contribute their quota to securing the future of the state as leaders who build future leaders.

She appreciated the unrelenting efforts of the principals in ensuring good working relationships with the State Ministry of Education and Human Capital Development to enhance quality education in the state.

The Commissioner also solicited the support of the principals for the present administration of Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, who she said is wholeheartedly committed to the welfare of teachers and citizens.

Also speaking, the Chairman of the Kwara State Teaching Service Commission, Mallam Bello Tauheed Abubakar, applauded Governor AbdulRazaq for moving the education sector forward in the state, explaining that the present administration has done justice to improving teachers' welfare.

The Permanent Secretary of the Ministry, Mrs Olanrewaju Bake, applauded the Governor for his unalloyed effort at revamping the education sector in the state and called on teachers in the state to be on top of their jobs.

Earlier, the Director, Curriculum and Assessment Department of the Ministry, Mrs. Adewuyi Victoria gave the breakdown of the approved registration fees for WAEC 2024/2025 as highlighted below:

WAEC Charges: N27,000.00
E-registration Charges: N1,250.00
Administrative Charges: N2,000.00
Total fees to be paid: N30,250.00

In his own contribution, the President of the All Nigeria Confederation of Principals of Secondary Schools, Kwara State Wing, Mohammad Baba, applauded Governor AbdulRazaq for putting smiles on the faces of teachers across the state.

Baba thanked the governor for revamping the education system through the rehabilitation and construction of schools across the state, as well as prompt payment of salaries and promotion of teachers.

He promised that teachers in the state would justify the confidence reposed in them by being up and doing in discharging their professional duties.
