WAEC calls on candidates to co-operate with probe into withheld 2024 WASSCE results

The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has called on 2024 WASSCE candidates whose results have been held to co-operate with ongoing investigations as well parents and guardians of these candidates.
In a statement by WAEC on January 30, investigations into alleged examination malpractices involving some candidates, for which reason the results are being withheld, is in the final phase.
The Council, with the approval of the Ghana Examinations Committee during its 37th meeting, withheld the subject results of certain candidate and initially announced it in a statement on December 30, 2024, when the provisional results were released.
The statement signed by Head of Public Affairs, WAEC, John Kapi said the scrutiny of the affected scripts has been concluded and candidates involved have been invited to engage with selected WAEC officials. These candidates will be allowed to be accompanied by their parents.
According to WAEC, the meeting is aimed at affording candidates a fair hearing before final decisions are taken.
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 emphasised that these interactions are conducted transparently and fairly, dismissing claims by some parents that candidates are being coerced or intimidated into writing statements.
The Council has therefore appealed to all affected candidates and their guardians to cooperate with the ongoing process to ensure swift resolution of the matter.
