However a recent meeting has been held concerning this issue.

It has been revealed that the House of Representatives on Thursday held a meetting with the stakeholders in the education sector concerning arriving on a safe way of reopening schools so that students can be able to sit for the West African Secondary School Certificate Examination (WASSCE).

The matter concerning the reopening of schools for WASSCE was discussed by the House Committee on Basic Education and Services, the Federal Ministry of Education and West African Examination Council.
