What the Civic Education syllabus covers
The syllabus covers 17 topics in three sections: national ethics, discipline, rights and obligations; emerging issues in the society, including cultism, drug abuse and human trafficking; and governmental system and processes. WAEC examines Civic Education in two papers taken at one sitting — a 50-question multiple-choice paper and a two-hour essay paper with three sections.

Using the syllabus
