Abstract
In reviewing their educational aims policies and systems, the five Anglophone West African countries in which the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) operates have evolved or are evolving programmes of educational reforms at the secondary level which call for diversified curricula in order to respond to individual and national development challenges. The paper gives a comparative account of the current policies and systems to show the factors that have led to the change the innovative elements that distinguished them from earlier systems. The logical implications of the revolution on the educational systems are also examined. The paper finally highlights the achievements and the short comings of the implementation programmes and appropriate recommendations are made.
