The West African Examinations Council has announced the opening of online portals for school recognition and the upload of Continuous Assessment Scores for the upcoming 2025 West African Senior School Certificate Examination.
Schools wishing to present candidates for the 2025 WASSCE are urged to complete their recognition process and upload the necessary CASS data within the stipulated deadlines.
A late Monday statement, referenced as BN/ZC/MOE/15/VOL.2/139 and signed by Mr A. Adebolu, Head of Exams for the Branch Controller, was addressed to school principals and titled “WASSCE (SC) 2025: OPENING OF ONLINE PORTALS FOR SCHOOL RECOGNITION AND UPLOAD OF CASS 1 & 2”.
The statement noted, “The school recognition portal will be open for the recognition of new schools from 2 September to 13 December 2024.”
“All schools seeking approval for WASSCE (SC) 2025 are advised to make the appropriate payments and complete their application process within this period.”
It further stated that the online recognition portal will be accessible from 2 September to 13 December 2024 for new schools, while the CASS 1 & 2 upload portal will remain open from 2 September to 20 December 2024.
Schools must ensure timely compliance, as the portals will close at midnight on the respective due dates.
The statement read, “The CASS upload portal for CASS 1 & 2 will be open from 2 September to 20 December 2024.”
“Consequently, all schools presenting candidates for WASSCE (SC) 2025 are urged to upload their CASS 1 & 2 data before the closing date.”
