- WAEC withholds BECE results for 36 candidates
- 149 schools' results under review for suspected irregularities
- WAEC assures prompt resolution, urges parents' patience
The West African Examination Council (WAEC) has announced that it is in the process of releasing the 2024 Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) results.
In a recent statement, WAEC revealed that results for 33 school candidates and three private candidates have been withheld pending further review. Additionally, the subject results for candidates from 149 schools are currently under scrutiny due to suspected irregularities.
John Kapi, WAEC’s Head of Public Affairs, urged parents and guardians to remain patient as the council finalizes the results. He explained, “The pending is a result of some mistakes made by our supervisors and the candidates who did not follow instructions. So you would have, for example, maybe your music script is found where the music examiner has marked the music bit, but then the design bit of it cannot be marked by the same examiner.”
Kapi reassured families, stating, “We will want to appeal to parents and guardians to exercise restraint because certainly we had our people working throughout the night and hopefully we would have those results released.”
