WAEC reveals cause of 2024 BECE Creative Arts and Design pending results

The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has attributed mistakes made by students and supervisors as the cause of pending Creative Arts and Design results of this year’s Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE).

A spokesman of the Examinations Council, John Kapi in an interview monitored by GhanaEducation.org said his outfit is working tirelessly to correct the mistakes and release the pending BECE Creative Arts and Design results.

“The pending results are due to some mistakes made by our supervisors and candidates who did not follow instructions,” the Head of Public Affairs at the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) stated.

Mr. Kapi following measures put in place by the management of the not-for-profit-making institution has urged students, parents and guardians to remain patient while WAEC continues processing the results.
