The statement also said the special needs candidates will also register online but “they must state clearly their disabilities: blind, low vision, spastic, speech etc.

According to the statement, the registration started October 8 and will end December 28.
It said the registration procedure has been designed to accommodate bio-metric features that will be used for validation at the examination centre.
“After obtaining the registration pin, candidates should log on to www.waeconline.org,” it said.
“Candidates must conclude registration within two weeks of first access to the website during registration period,” the statement said.

The council said candidates are expected to pay a registration fee of N13, 950 and a commission of N500 to banks and accredited agents.

The council had earlier announced that it will begin to conduct two series of the WASSCE for private candidates from 2018.
