The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has called for the cooperation of 2024 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) candidates whose results have been withheld due to suspected malpractices.
In a statement, WAEC explained that the decision to withhold the results was approved by the Ghana Examinations Committee during its 37th meeting.
However, investigations are now in their final phase.
According to the statement, signed by WAEC’s Head of Public Affairs, John Kapi, the review of the affected scripts has been completed, and the concerned candidates have been invited to meet 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 noted.
During the sessions, candidates will have the opportunity to respond to the allegations and provide written statements in the presence of their guardians.
WAEC has assured the public that the process is being conducted fairly and transparently, dismissing allegations that candidates are being coerced or intimidated into making statements.
The exam body has urged all affected candidates and their guardians to cooperate fully to facilitate a swift resolution of the matter.
