The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has finally released the provisional results for the 2024 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) for school candidates in Ghana.
This comes after weeks of negotiations with the government over its outstanding debt to WAEC, which had delayed the marking and release of results.
The government’s payment of GHS 60 million, part of its over GHS 160 million indebtedness to WAEC, paved the way for the release of the results. This move would enable candidates to meet the tertiary admission deadlines.
According to Mr. John Kapi, Head of Public Affairs at WAEC, candidates and heads of schools can access the results via the WAEC website, using login credentials provided to school authorities. He also urged candidates to be cautious of fraudsters claiming to upgrade results for a fee, emphasizing that results can be verified using WAEC’s QR code verification system.
This year’s examination saw a total of 460,611 candidates from 1,003 schools register for the exams, marking a 2.66% increase compared to 2023. Unfortunately, 4,609 candidates (1%) were absent. The results show varying performances in core subjects, with English Language and Social Studies recording the highest pass rates.
