The West Africa Examination Council (WAEC), a regional exam body, has unveiled a platform that will provide access to high-quality data and offer solutions for the educational sector.
The new product was created, according to the Head of National Office, WAEC, Nigeria, Mr. Patrick Ehidiamen Areghan, at a ceremony held at the WAEC Office in Lagos, to ease the burden of manual data access by stakeholders, enhance the delivery of services of a higher caliber, and increase revenue for the Council.
Areghan claimed that his experiences in 2018 in the United States were the inspiration for the database platform. The database created by Sigma Technologies, he continued, would revolutionize the educational field and serve as a powerful research tool—all for a fee, just like the Digital Certificate introduced last year.
It was created to offer interested parties, including researchers, funding organizations, governmental organizations, school administrators, and parents, a trustworthy platform that offers educational insights gathered from various sources and delivered in straightforward graphs, summaries, and dashboards that aid in decision-making. Access to a thorough Interactive Web Report is the main perk of the EDUSTAT by WAEC platform, he revealed.
“As you all know, the new world is smarter and more instant,” he continued. There is no way to vary how statistical data analysis is accessed, compiled, interpreted, or presented.

“Due to the rapidly changing markets, uncertain economic climate, shifting political landscape, customer focus, and even the global pandemic, businesses and organizations alike need every advantage they can get to improve service delivery. This has increased the demand for statistical analysis among researchers for fact analysis and findings.
“The West African Examinations Council is dedicated to upholding its mission as Africa’s top examining body, providing high-quality and trustworthy educational assessment, encouraging academic and moral excellence, and advancing sustainable human resource development and international cooperation.
“Sometimes all it takes is one person to develop a novel strategy that gives the organization a competitive edge in order to meet the expanding global demands for corporate organizations. Nevertheless, it frequently necessitates the interaction of numerous teams and the synthesis of numerous data sources.
