Following the compromise of the Gambia Basic Education Certificate Examination Science Paper II and its subsequent cancellation, the West Africa Examinations Council, Banjul Office has confirmed that a substitute paper has been developed and that the paper will now be administered to candidates countrywide on Friday, May 18th, 2012 from 12:30 to 13: 45.

A press release from WAEC Banjul Office said the cost of developing and reprinting this paper stands at a staggering D444, 096.95, a bill the Ministry of Basic and Secondary Education has generously agreed to foot which they described as a ‘ hard-earned tax-payers’ money.
