Exercise restraint, withheld BECE results’ll be released soon – WAEC assures candidates, parents
The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has reassured the public that it is working swiftly to release the withheld results of candidates who participated in the 2024 Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE).
The results of 33 school candidates and three private candidates have been withheld, while subject results from candidates in 149 schools are currently under review due to reported examination irregularities.
John Kapi, WAEC’s Head of Public Affairs, explained the reasons behind the delays, attributing them to a combination of mistakes made by supervisors and candidates who failed to follow instructions during the examination process.
"The pending results are due to some mistakes made by our supervisors and candidates who did not follow instructions," Mr. Kapi said.
He provided an example of a situation where mismatches in answer scripts have led to verification issues.
“For instance, your music script may be correctly marked by the music examiner, but the design section of that same script cannot be marked by the same examiner,” Mr. Kapi explained, emphasising the need for proper script handling to ensure accuracy.
Mr. Kapi urged parents and guardians to remain patient while WAEC continues processing the results.
"We want to appeal to parents and guardians to exercise restraint because we had our people working throughout the night, and hopefully, we will release those results soon," he added.
WAEC emphasised that this review process is essential to maintaining the integrity of the BECE results and assured candidates that the Council is working tirelessly to address the issues and release the results as soon as possible.
