The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has urged candidates whose 2024 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) results are being withheld, along with their parents and guardians, to cooperate with ongoing investigations into alleged examination malpractices.

WAEC’s investigation, which is now in its final phase, was prompted by reports of cheating involving some candidates.
The Council initially withheld the subject results of certain candidates when the provisional results were released on December 30, 2024, following the approval of the Ghana Examinations Committee during its 37th meeting. With the scrutiny of affected scripts now concluded, WAEC has invited concerned candidates to meet with selected officials, accompanied by their parents or guardians.
These meetings aim to provide candidates with a fair hearing, allowing them to respond to allegations and provide written statements in the presence of their guardians. WAEC emphasizes that these interactions are transparent and fair, dismissing claims of coercion or intimidation.
To ensure a swift resolution, WAEC appeals to all affected candidates and their guardians to cooperate with the ongoing process. This development affects over 215,000 candidates, representing 11.92% of the 1,805,216 who sat for the exam, whose results were withheld due to alleged malpractice.
