WAEC asks schools to submit evidence of alleged BECE result discrepancies

Mr Kapi acknowledged that WAEC does not claim to be infallible, noting that the Council publishes examination results as provisional to allow room for the investigation and correction of genuine errors where necessary.

Asked whether WAEC had proactively contacted schools following complaints circulating on social media and other platforms, Mr Kapi said the Council was preparing a detailed public statement explaining the examination and results-processing procedures.

The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has urged schools and parents raising concerns over the 2026 Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) results to provide evidence to support their claims.
