An Accra High Court has dismissed an application by the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) which sought a stay of execution on an earlier ruling that ordered WAEC to immediately release withholding results of the 2024 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE).

The court also imposed a GHS 5,000 fine on WAEC.

The court also ordered WAEC to release the results.

On December 30 last year, WAEC announced that it had withheld the results of approximately 10,000 WASSCE candidates across multiple subjects, citing alleged examination malpractices and irregularities by the candidates.
