The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has received a significant boost to its operations with an additional GH¢35 million funding from the Ministry of Education. Apexnewsgh reports
This injection of funds is expected to facilitate the continuation of the 2024 WASSCE marking and expedite the release of results by the end of December.
The Ministry of Education had earlier released GH¢25 million to settle part of the GH¢118 million debt owed to WAEC. With this additional funding, WAEC can now complete the scanning of objective answer cards and conclude the processing of results for the 2024 WASSCE school candidates.
In a statement, WAEC expressed its gratitude for the funding and assured stakeholders that it is working diligently to ensure the timely release of results.
However, the Council also appealed to the Ministry of Education to release the remaining balance of its outstanding debt to enable it to pay supervisors, invigilators, script checkers, and suppliers of examination materials.
The release of WASSCE results has been eagerly anticipated by students, parents, and educational institutions. The additional funding is a welcome development, and WAEC’s commitment to releasing the results by the end of December will come as a relief to many.
