Over 10,000 inmates sat WASSCE in five years , NCoS

The Nigerian Correctional Service said it has registered over 10,000 inmates for the West African Senior School Certificate Examination and the National Examinations Council exams over the past five years.
The NCoS spokesperson, Umar Abubakar disclosed this to newsmen on Monday.
Abubakar revealed that more than 2,000 inmates are enrolled annually for these exams across correctional facilities nationwide reflecting the growing success and acceptance of the NCoS’ educational programmes.
He also pointed to the special National Open University of Nigeria centres in correctional facilities, which allow inmates to pursue undergraduate and postgraduate degrees.
However, the spokesperson noted that the NCoS faces significant challenges in delivering educational services to inmates thereby calling on NECO, WAEC, and the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board to offer exam waivers for inmates just as NOUN did in order to facilitate their rehabilitation and resettlement.
