Don't Miss the Defining Event for Nigeria's Educational Future.

The clock is ticking. By 2026, WAEC and NECO are set to fully migrate all Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE) components, including essays, to Computer-Based Testing (CBT). This isn't just a change; it's a revolution in how Nigerian students are assessed, bringing immense opportunities for efficiency, security, and innovation. But with this shift come critical questions about infrastructure, equitable access, and readiness.

As organizers of the prestigious Africa Top School Awards and the yearly Africa Top Schools Examination Officers Conference, the Africa Brands Review Service is convening a pivotal national summit to ensure a smooth and successful transition.

Why This Summit Matters Now:

The seemingly rapid shift to CBT exams for WAEC and NECO by 2026 presents a dual challenge for Nigeria's education sector: embracing the undeniable opportunities of digital assessment for efficiency and integrity, while simultaneously navigating significant hurdles in infrastructure, equitable access, and ensuring all stakeholders are adequately prepared. This summit is crucial to proactively address these concerns, facilitate essential partnerships and investments in CBT infrastructure, and ensure a smooth and successful transition that benefits all Nigerian students and maintains academic standards.
