WAEC Withholds Results of 413 Candidates Due to Examination Malpractice

The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has recently announced the results of the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) for Private Candidates, 2023 – First Series. This important announcement was made by the Head of the National Office WAEC, Nigeria, Mr. Patrick E. Areghan.

According to Mr. Areghan, a total of 8,348 candidates sat for the examination. Out of this number, 4,161 were males while 4,187 were females. This translates to 49.84% and 50.16% for males and females respectively.

In light of this announcement, it is worth noting that the examination malpractice cases reported during the exam were not taken lightly. According to Mr. Areghan, the results of 413 candidates, representing 4.95% of the total number of candidates that sat for the examination, are being withheld due to reported cases of examination malpractice. The cases are currently being investigated, and reports of the investigations will be presented to the appropriate Committee of the Council for determination in due course.

It is important to note that the act of examination malpractice is a serious offense and will not be tolerated by the Council. As such, those involved in such acts should desist from it in the future. It is also important for candidates to ensure that they prepare adequately for their examinations and shun any form of examination malpractice.

Candidates who sat for the examination can check their results by visiting the official WAEC website at www.waecdirect.org. It is important for candidates to note that the website is the only official platform for checking WAEC results, and as such, they should avoid any other websites or individuals claiming to be able to check results on their behalf.

In conclusion, the release of the WASSCE for Private Candidates, 2023 – First Series results is a step forward in the educational sector of West Africa. It is important for all stakeholders in the education sector to continue to work together to ensure that the standards of education in the region continue to improve.
