NECO accredits more foreign schools for SSCE, BECE

Additional international schools have been approved by the National Examinations Council (NECO) to administer the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) and the Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE).

Azeez Sani, the Acting Director of Information and Public Relations at NECO, made this announcement on Saturday in Abuja.

According to Mr. Sani, the goal of the initiative was to increase the Council’s global reach and horizons.
He claims that Equatorial Guinea and the Niger Republic are home to the recently approved schools.

In order to evaluate these schools’ preparedness for the SSCE and BECE, the NECO Accreditation Team paid them a visit.

Classrooms, labs, libraries, computer labs, workshops, exam rooms, and sports facilities were among the amenities the crew examined.
“After a thorough evaluation, the schools were granted full SSCE and full BECE accreditation status.

“This accreditation is a testament to NECO’s commitment to providing quality education and assessment beyond Nigeria’s shores.”
According to Sani, NECO is well-positioned to emerge as a preeminent testing organization in Africa, providing chances for students all over the world to take advantage of its experience.

According to Sani, candidates will take part in the current NECO SSCE external test in Diffa, Niger Republic.

In Diffa, Niger Republic, the UNHCR School is the first NECO SSCE external center outside of Nigeria.

As you may remember, candidates from a number of nations, including the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Benin Republic, Togo, Cote d’Ivoire, Niger Republic, and Equatorial Guinea, are presently writing the NECO questions.
