The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has committed to finalising all cases of malpractice, involving some schools and students in the 2024 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE), and will release the results on February 28, this year.
The Head of Public Affairs of WAEC, Mr John Kapi, said to ensure fairness to all other affected candidates, the Council had filed a stay of execution pending appeal after the court ruled that the results of the affected candidates of these schools should be released when some affected candidates of schools who were alleged to have engaged in examination malpractice (ie collusion) during the WASSCE (SC), 2024 took the issue to court. "The stay of execution is fixed to be heard on February 20, 2025," he said.
This was made known at a press briefing on Friday to provide updates on irregularities in last year's WASSCE for school candidates.
Mr Kapi, therefore, appealed to affected students, parents and stakeholders to use caution as it proceeded through a methodical approach to finalise the process before the results were released. "We wish to appeal to parents, guardians and the candidates involved to cooperate with the Council to enable it expedite action on the release of outstanding results," he noted.
