The West African Examination Council (WAEC) has announced that it is actively working to release the pending results for candidates who took the 2024 Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE).
In a statement, WAEC revealed that the results of 33 school candidates and three private candidates have been withheld. Additionally, some subject results from candidates in 149 schools are currently under review due to reported irregularities.
John Kapi, WAEC’s Head of Public Affairs, emphasized the need for parents and guardians to remain patient as the processing of the results continues.
“The pending is a result of some mistakes made by our supervisors and the candidates who did not follow instructions. So you would have, for example, maybe your music script is found where the music examiner has marked the music bit, but then the design bit of it cannot be marked by the same examiner.
“So we will want to appeal to parents and guardians to exercise restraint because certainly we had our people working throughout the night and hopefully we would have those results released.”
