The West African Senior Secondary School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) begins today, August 19, 2024, with practical and theory papers being administered by the West African Examinations Council (WAEC). The exams will run until September 20, 2024. WAEC has implemented strict measures to ensure fairness but has raised concerns about attempts to undermine the process, including bribery and conflicts of interest involving invigilators. The Council has warned that any involvement in cheating or fraudulent activities will result in severe penalties, including nullification of entries and cancellation of results. Examination centres found non-compliant may be relocated, and candidates are advised to follow examination rules and avoid fraudulent websites offering fake questions.
