The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has released information regarding the approved registration fee for the 2024 examinations.
The general public is hereby notified that the registration fee for candidates entering for 7 to 9 subjects is set at GH¢465.00.
It is important to note that this fee does not include the charges for practical or oral tests, which range between GH¢14.50 and GH¢19.50 per test.
All stakeholders involved in the registration process are urged to be aware of these fees and to ensure compliance.
In addition to this announcement, the WAEC has issued a cautionary notice to parents and the general public regarding certain establishments known as “banner schools.”
These schools lack the necessary facilities to function as regular educational institutions and are solely established for the purpose of registering candidates for examinations.
The warning comes as WAEC has observed the practice of these banner schools, which typically display phone numbers on banners and request candidates to meet them at various locations to register for the examination at highly exorbitant fees.
Parents and prospective candidates are advised to exercise caution and conduct proper research before engaging with any school for examination registration.
