The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) is expected to release the 2024 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) results on Thursday, December 19, 2024, based on reliable projections. Candidates eager to stay informed can dial *789*444# for the latest updates and guidance.

Examination Overview

The 2024 WASSCE started on August 5 with the Visual Arts Project Work and concluded on September 20, 2024. A total of 460,611 candidates, made up of 212,954 males and 247,657 females, sat for the exams at 1,000 centers across Ghana. The examination was monitored by WAEC officials, security agencies, and other key stakeholders to ensure credibility and fairness.

Financial and Logistical Challenges

Although the examination was conducted successfully, WAEC has faced challenges that have delayed the processing of results. Key among these is the GHS 118 million debt owed to WAEC by the Government of Ghana, which has constrained the council’s operational capacity. Broken scanners critical to processing scripts further compounded the issue, requiring immediate repairs or replacement.

WAEC has assured the public that efforts are underway to resolve these challenges and release the results as soon as possible.

Exam Integrity and Reported Infractions

During the conduct of the examination, WAEC recorded several infractions, including:

- Candidates smuggling mobile phones into examination halls.

- Supervisors photocopying answers and distributing them to candidates.

- Use of projectors to display answers on boards.

- Sharing of examination questions on social media platforms.

WAEC is committed to taking disciplinary action against any individuals found culpable to preserve the integrity of the results.
