Prof. Opoku-Amankwa in responding to this said the GES was working with WAEC and other stakeholders to ensure the release of the results of the majority of the candidates including those whose results had been withheld for suspected examination malpractices.
He furthered that there are less than 100 candidates now whose results had been withheld by WAEC.
He added that there were enough vacancies for the candidates, for which reason there was no need for any candidate or parent to panic.
