Abuja — The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has postponed the full implementation of the computer-based test (CBT) format for the 2026 Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE) until 2027, according to a statement released at the council’s 63rd annual meeting in Umuahia, Abia State. Hajia Binta Abdulkadir, Chairman of WAEC’s Nigeria National Committee, explained that the 2026 May/June edition will now serve as a pilot phase — allowing candidates to sit for either the traditional paper-and-pen test or the digital format. She emphasized that no student will be disadvantaged by the transition. The delay follows widespread concern over the readiness of many schools, particularly in rural areas, for full digital exams. Many institutions lack adequate computers, reliable electricity, internet connectivity, and trained personnel—factors WAEC and the Federal Ministry of Education say are essential for a successful rollout. To facilitate the switch, WAEC co...
Copper tetraoxosulphate VI is a blue crystal solid if it contains water of crystallization(copper(II)tetraoxosulphate VI pentahydrate,CuSO 4 .5H 2 O). The anhydrous form is white. Copper(II)tetraoxosulphate VI is electrovalent compound and it is one of the soluble compounds of copper. Tests for Copper(II) tetraoxosulphate VI In qualitative analysis of any compound or substance, the basic idea is to identify the ions in the compound. That means, one has to know the unique reactions of compound which contains any of the ions to be analyzed, for example all chlorides react with acidified silver trioxonitrate to form white precipitate which is soluble in ammonia solution. In the case of copper (II)tetraoxosulphate VI, the two ions are copper ion,Cu 2+ and tetraoxosulphate VI ion or radical,SO 4 2- .These two ions have some unique reactions which differentiate them from other ions. How to Test for Copper ion in an unknow...
