Africa-Press – Sierra-Leone. <\/strong><\/span>The Minister of Basic & Senior Secondary Education Mr. Conrad Sackey has revealed that Sierra Leone is privileged to be taking over the Chairmanship of West African Examination Council (WAEC) this year with a three years mandate, noting that the WAEC will be meeting in Sierra Leone in March and this is an opportunity for Sierra Leone to make the changes we desired in the WAEC system.<\/p>\n

Minister Sackey made this disclosure during a meeting with the leadership of National Conference of Principals of Secondary Schools (NCPSS) on Thursday 4th January 2024 at the Ministry\u2019s Headquarters in Freetown.<\/p>\n

He described 2024 as the year of education in Sierra Leone after highlighting three key major activities that the nation will be benefiting from globally.<\/p>\n

Responding to concerns raised by CPSS, Minister Sackey reiterates government commitment to meet the demands of teachers and school authorities, and brought to the knowledge of NCPSS leadership that 99% of the Ministry\u2019s budget is spent on recurrent expenditure which includes the payment of salaries, school fees subsidy, payment of public examination fees among others, noting that only 1% is available for capital expenditure.<\/p>\n
