WASSCE 2024 Results Update: Key Challenges and Latest Developments
The West African Examinations Council (WAEC), on August 5, 2024, commenced the administration of the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) for School Candidates, 2024. The examination successfully concluded on Friday, September 20, 2024.
As of now, the post-examination processes are ongoing, but there have been some delays impacting the release of the WASSCE 2024 results. Here’s the latest WASSCE 2024 results update covering progress, challenges, and WAEC’s appeal to stakeholders.
Marking and Scanning Progress
The marking of essays and practical components began on Friday, November 7, 2024, and ended on Friday, November 29, 2024. However, the scanning of objective cards, which was scheduled from November 1 to November 30, 2024, remains incomplete due to the breakdown of scanners used for the process.
WAEC has reported that the delayed scanning process is a significant hurdle in the finalization of the WASSCE 2024 results update. To address this, the Council is awaiting additional funds from the Ministry of Education to repair the scanners and ensure smooth continuation of post-examination activities.
Funding Challenges
The Council is yet to receive a substantial portion of the outstanding GHC 118,000,000.00 from the Ministry of Education. These funds are critical to completing the WASSCE 2024 results processing and compensating examination officials and suppliers for their services.
WAEC appeals to examination officials and suppliers for patience as they work with the Ministry to resolve the funding shortfall. The WASSCE 2024 results update will be shared as soon as these challenges are resolved.
Beware of False Release Dates
WAEC has cautioned the public to disregard unofficial information circulating on social media regarding the release of the WASSCE 2024 results. Official release dates will only be announced by WAEC after completing all necessary post-examination activities.
Conclusion
While the WASSCE 2024 results update shows significant progress in marking, the delay in scanning and funding issues have posed challenges. WAEC assures candidates, schools, and stakeholders that the results will be released as soon as the technical and financial constraints are resolved.
