The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has announced the release of provisional results for the 2024 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) for Private Candidates, Second Series.
However, the subject results of 303 candidates and the entire results of 108 candidates have been withheld.
The exam body noted that during the examination and subsequent marking process, instances of malpractice were detected, hence the results withheld, pending the conclusion of investigations.
In a statement, WAEC explained that 38,316 candidates participated in the examination, including 17,596 males and 21,131 females, with 1,354 registered candidates absent.
Candidates can access their results online at [www.waecgh.org](www.waecgh.org).
This development comes in the wake of uncertainty among parents and guardians and a legal action against WAEC over 10,500 WASSCE results which have been withheld.
Meanwhile, WAEC has cautioned the public against scammers who promise to upgrade examination results for a fee.
The Council assures that its results database is secure, and all results can be authenticated.
Institutions and organizations are encouraged to verify results directly from WAEC or use the online verification service at [www.waecgh.org](www.waecgh.org).
WAEC expresses its sincere gratitude to all stakeholders who supported the successful conduct of the examination and the release of results.
