The West African Examination Council (WAEC) has warned that the release of the 2024 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) results may be delayed due to the government's outstanding debt of GH₵166 million.

Head of Public Affairs of WAEC, John Kapi further explained that government has only paid one-third of WAEC's 2024 budget of GH₵186 million, leaving unpaid arrears of GH₵40.4 million from previous years.

The outstanding amount of GH₵166 million results from a combination of unpaid funds from the 2024 budget and arrears carried over from previous years.

John Kapi disclosed this during a recent interview with Joy News, according to a report by myjoyonline.com.
