According to a release from WAEC’s Public Affairs Unit, teams of staff members will be deployed to the counties to provide hands-on technical support.
A primary focus will be helping schools that face difficulties with candidate fee payments and completing registrations due to a lack of clear information or understanding of the digital and manual processes.
“The teams will liaise directly with County Education Officers, school principals, and secretariats to ensure the smooth execution of their duties and the overall success of the outreach,” the release stated. “This direct engagement is crucial to addressing the unique issues faced by schools in different regions.”
The outreach will cover all counties, with teams visiting key towns and schools each day. In Margibi and Montserrado, the teams will be in Kakata and surrounding areas from January 19 to 21, followed by Harbel and its surroundings, as well as Districts 1, 2, and 3 in Montserrado County from January 22 to 24.
