The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) and the National Examinations
Council (NECO) have jointly selected and harmonized literature texts and
syllabi for the Senior Secondary Certificate Examinations (SSCE) for both
school and private candidates (GCE) for the sessions spanning from 2021 to
2025. These materials are available in PDF format for both the WAEC May/June
and GCE sessions.
Included in the selection are texts recommended for study in various
literary genres, including African and non-African prose, Shakespearean
texts, African and non-African drama, as well as African and non-African
poetry.
The released literature texts serve as essential study guides for students
preparing to sit for their final examinations in senior secondary schools
across the country. These materials have been made accessible online by
WAEC, NECO, and the National Business and Technical Examinations Board
(NABTEB), and are available for viewing or downloading in PDF format.
