A group of aggrieved parents in the Bono Region has filed a lawsuit against the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) over the withholding of their children’s examination results.
According to the parents, WAEC’s decision has caused undue stress and uncertainty for their children, who risk missing out on tertiary admissions.
Their lawyer, Mr. Antwi Adjei, told Adom News at the Sunyani High Court that over 400 parents have joined the legal action, arguing that their children’s results were unfairly withheld.
The parents are demanding the immediate release of the results, emphasizing that any further delay could jeopardize the students’ academic future.
WAEC has yet to officially respond to the lawsuit.
The case is currently before the Sunyani High Court, with the next hearing scheduled for March 10, 2025.
The parents remain hopeful for a favorable ruling that will allow their children to access their results and proceed with their education.
Some parents have also appealed directly to WAEC, urging the examination body to expedite the process and release the withheld results to prevent further disruptions to their children’s academic progress.
