The 2024 West African Senior Certificate Examination (WASSCE) has started with no cases of exam malpractice reported so far. Before the exam began, the West African Examination Council (WAEC) expressed concern about reports of some school authorities attempting to assist students during the exam. In a statement on August 19, 2024, the council said "Candidates in some parts of the country are being charged sums of money between Gh¢200.00 and Gh¢500.00 in order to receive assistance from invigilators. Supervisors at some centres are planning to assign teachers to invigilate subjects they teach and some schools have registered persons who are not their bona fide students." WAEC also issued a strong warning to school heads, supervisors, and invigilators to avoid such practices. However, school authorities at some senior high institutions have been pleased with the conduct observed since the exam began.
