The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has withheld the results of 215,267 candidates from the 2024 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) due to alleged malpractice. This figure represents 11.92% of the candidates, a decrease from the previous year’s 16.29%. Dr. Amos Dangut, Head of the National Office, cited issues such as the use of cell phones and organized cheating. Investigations are ongoing, and decisions will be communicated to schools and affected candidates soon. WAEC encourages candidates to seek redress through their website if needed and emphasizes its commitment to addressing examination malpractice.
