The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has urged cooperation from the 2024 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) candidates whose results have been withheld due to suspected malpractices.
In a statement, the exam body noted that, with the approval of the Ghana Examinations Committee during its 37th meeting, the results were withheld. However, investigations have since commenced and are now in their final phase.
The statement, signed by Head of Public Affairs John Kapi, noted that the scrutiny of the affected scripts has been completed. The concerned candidates have been invited to engage with selected WAEC officials.
“These meetings, which require candidates to be accompanied by their parents or guardians, are aimed at affording them a fair hearing before final decisions are made on their cases,” the statement read.
“During the meetings, candidates will be given an opportunity to respond to the allegations against them and provide written statements in the presence of their guardians.”
WAEC has assured that these interactions are being conducted transparently and fairly, dismissing claims by some parents that candidates are being coerced or intimidated into writing statements.
All affected candidates and their guardians have therefore been asked to cooperate with the ongoing process to ensure a swift resolution of the matter.
