Don’t expect 2024 WASSCE results this year – WAEC
The latest heartbreaking update for 2024 WASSCE candidates from WAEC is: “Don’t expect 2024 WASSCE results this year.” This statement sums up the predicament school candidates who sat for the WASSCE exam find themselves in, due to the government’s failure to settle its financial obligations to WAEC.
As a result, graduates who were expected to start their tertiary education in January 2024 will now have to wait a bit longer, possibly until 2025, for their results to be released. In 2023, WAEC released the WASSCE results on December 18th. However, this is not the case for the 2024 batch.
WAEC has made it public that, due to financial constraints, the results of the WASSCE for school candidates will be delayed. This is because it has not completed all the post-exam processes required to release the results.
The Head of Public Relations at WAEC, John Kapi, speaking to Adom News (as reported by GhanaEducation.Org), stated that the council is yet to receive the funds the Government of Ghana owes it for conducting examinations for students.
This situation also means that the delay in releasing results will affect even private WASSCE candidates, who paid their exam fees in full, due to the government’s failure to pay the fees for public SHS candidates for the same examination.
According to Mr. Kapi, approximately GH₵118 million is owed to the council by the Government of Ghana. He further explained that the issue is highly complicated, as the council needs at least GH₵25 million to repair malfunctioning scanners required for processing objective test results.
The council originally planned to complete the results processing and release them within the first 14 days of 2024. However, due to the current financial constraints, the release date will have to be pushed to January 2024.

Unfortunately, WAEC is scheduled to break for the Christmas holidays from December 20th, 2024. If the government releases the funds, WAEC would need to recall its staff during the holidays to complete the processes and release the results.
Mr. Kapi emphasized that there is no way the council can work on the results and release them without the necessary funds. This means the longer the delay in releasing the funds, the longer students, parents, and universities waiting for the results will have to wait.
He further expressed his concern over the current situation, stating that the council has never faced such frustration leading to a delay in releasing results until now.

Then if the exam body can’t no longer operate the better to stop than subjecting to the money owned by the government. However, by all standards, the money will be pay later by the government and by then those students who wanted to use the results to enter tertiary institution this academic year will automatically going to be affected which cannot be corrected by WAEC again. I may say the exam body is trying to sabotage the Nana Addo government just for their parochial interest. I rest my case. Thanks.
You sound like those who are part of the big problem of this nation. You are refusing to think outside the box. Common sense has it that businesses or firms need money to run. How can WAEC perform its duties when you buy all its services on credit and refuse to pay. I am disappointed in your submission.
