The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has received extra GH₵35 million from the government through the Ministry of Education.
The amount is to support WAEC’s operations and ensure the smooth continuation of the 2024 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) marking process.
This financial injection is aimed at addressing the challenges WAEC has been facing and expediting the release of the results.
The Head of Public Affairs at WAEC, John Kapi confirmed the release to Adom News.
The latest disbursement follows the initial release of GH₵50 million to offset part of the GH¢118 million owed to the Council.
Mr Kapi is optimistic the current funds will help in getting the results by the end of December 2024 although WAEC had earlier told candidates to expect it next year.
