Number of withheld WAEC results in 2024 session
In a related story, Fox Nigeria reported that WAEC said WASSCE candidates who had their results withheld were suspected of examination malpractice.
WAEC stated that the 215,267 WASSCE 2024 results withheld are currently under investigation.
The prominent examination board, therefore, asked anyone with complaints to make a case as an individual candidate or as a school via a link it provided.
It said:
“Candidate is suspected of involvement in examination malpractice. The papers are being investigated. Review period is usually around 4-8 weeks. Results may be eventually released or cancelled. Visit https://waecinternational.org/complaints to make a case as an individual candidate or as a school.”
On Monday, August 12, 2024, WAEC disclosed that it withheld the results of 215,267 candidates who sat the 2024 WASSCE (school candidates) over alleged malpractice.
The number represents 11.92 percent of candidates who wrote the examination and was 4.37 percent lower than the 16.29 percent recorded in the same diet in 2023.
