The management of the West African Examinations Council (WAEC), Nigeria officially began the conduct of WASCE examination for 2020 candidates today, 17th August.

With schools shut down for over four months, many are of the view that the students have become academically rusty, as there is no way that one can compare learning and teaching environment found in a school to reading and studying at home, probably all alone.

Those saying this point to a number of factors namely; psychological factor, lack of preparedness on the part of students, new seating arrangement brought about by safety protocols to safeguard against COVID-19 among others.

A photo of a sitting arrangements in an unknown school surfaces online and people aren’t finding it funny anymore.

In the photo, students were arranged in a social distance manner but under the scotching sun and tense condition.
