WAEC withholds over 10,000 WASSCE results
In December 2024, the WAEC released the results for candidates who wrote the West African Senior School Certificate Exam that year.
However, the Council withheld the results of over 10,000 candidates suspected to have engaged in examination malpractice and promised to release them by February 28, 2025.
Some upset parents and students had stormed the WAEC's office in Kumasi to demand the release of withheld results.
WAEC releases all outstanding results
Following a court order, the WAEC has released all withheld results from the 2024 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE).
Speaking in an interview, John Kapi, Head of Public Affairs at the WAEC, said there were currently no outstanding results, including those previously tied to a legal dispute with the Council.

These candidates were caught cheating during the 2024 WASSCE. The results of 483 candidates found with mobile phones during the examination were also annulled.
The Ghana Examinations Committee approved the cancellations following extensive consultation.
Additionally, subject results for 781 candidates were withheld pending further review, while 209 candidates face the possibility of losing their entire results due to various suspected offences.
Brilliant Ayirebi SHS boy excels in WASSCE
Francis is not the only candidate who excelled in his WASSCE exam. YEN.com.gh also reported that a young Ghanaian man had gained admission at the University of Cape Coast after passing his year.
Francis Otu, a past student of Ayirebi Senior High School, bagged 3As and 5Bs in the West African Senior School Certificate Exam. However, he risked losing his slot at the institution due to financial constraints.
He therefore appealed to the general public to come to his aid with the needed financial support to enable him to further his education, with many Ghanaians on social media sharing his plea for assistance.
