WAEC Releases Withheld WASSCE Results After Court Directive
Accra, Ghana - 03 Mrch, 2025 - Thousands of students in Ghana can now breathe a sigh of relief as the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has released all withheld results from the 2024 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE).
The move brings to an end a protracted dispute that had sparked widespread concern and protests among students and education stakeholders.
According to John Kapi, WAEC's Head of Public Affairs, WAEC had initially withheld the results due to concerns over examination malpractices, but has now made them available following intense pressure and a court order.
“As we promised, we kept to our promises. So by the close of February 28, we had uploaded all the results of the candidates whose results had been withheld.
“The court had ordered that we should release the results of those candidates. And so we’ve gone ahead with all the results. So we don’t have any outstanding results as far as, you know, those exams are concerned.
“Well, 28 was a Friday, and so we assume that the people are still waiting till the beginning of the week, you know, to begin to call the office and to register some complaints. But, again, I think that whatever we have put out there is a true reflection of the performance of the candidates in the examination,'' he told Citi News.
