PRESSLINE India delivers
PRIMA-30 to WAEC in Ghana
Footprints of PRESSLINE India in the African regions keep spreading as presses from the Indian
web offset press manufacturer are constantly on demand from newspaper and book publishers
as well as others including academic councils in the region. West African Examination Council
(WAEC), headquartered at Accra in Ghana, has recently installed a PRESSLINE PRIMA-30 to
print examination documents of the schools affiliated to the council.
Impressed with the unique features of the
press from the Indian web offset press
manufacturer, West African Examination
Council (WAEC) has recently installed
PRESSLINE PRIMA-30 to print all the
examination papers for the schools run under
the council. “May the good plans the Lord
has for you for 2016 be fulfilled. Remain
blessed,” this was the cordial message to
PRESSLINE India from Rev Sam NN
Ollennu, head of WAEC, expressing his
contentment of the printing press he received
from the Indian manufacturer.
WAEC was established in 1952, after the
Governments of Ghana (then Gold Coast),
Nigeria, Sierra Leone and Gambia enacted
the West African Examinations Council
Ordinances in 1951. Liberia became the
fifth member of the council in 1974. The
enactment of the ordinances was based
on the Jeffrey Report, which strongly
supported the proposal for the setting
up of a regional examining board to
harmonise and standardise the preuniversity
assessment procedures in the then
British West Africa period.
Today, the main objective of WAEC
is to conduct examinations in public
interest and to award certificates,
provided the certificates do not represent
lower standards of attainment
than equivalent certificates of
examining authorities in the UK.
Also, the council has a vivid
vision of making its examining
body world class, adding value
to the educational goals of its
stakeholders.
The ultimate mission of WAEC,
eying broadly across the
continent, is to become Africa’s
foremost examination body to
provide qualitative and
reliable educational
assessments, encouraging
academic and moral
excellence and promoting
sustainable human
resource development and
international co-operation,
under the core values of
integrity, professionalism,
accountability, transparency and team work.
After all, WAEC finally chose PRESSLINE
India’s press to print the required academic
documents, particularly examination papers
for its schools in the five member countries of
the council across the continent. PRESSLINE
PRIMA-30 fulfills the sheer requirement
of the council. The press is featured with
the configurations, such as Auto Splicer
+ 2Hi Tower + Half Page Folder with
Quarter Page Folder and Online Gluing +
Online Digital Numbering + Online Stacker
(PRIMA-30/578 mm).
PRESSLINE India is now proud to be
associated with WAEC and the council’s
head and dignitaries, who have placed faith
on their press, which is now successfully
running to churn out examination documents
of hundreds of African schools.
