I write to you because your website is a powerful medium through which news circulates to people. I want your help in airing mine and others’ grievances so the appropriate authorities would come to know of our predicament.

On February 28, 2022, news broke that the provisional results of the 2021 Basic Education Certificate Examination had been released. Students began checking their results as they had been long-awaited.  The outcome of the results had taken most students aback. This is because the grades we got were far from what we had expected.

As a student, when you complete an examination you have an idea of what your mark or grade would be. This is because, after writing your paper you know how you have performed and as such, you begin to picture your mark even before it is made known to you. This is exactly what students did after writing their Basic Education Certificate Examination, but what our results say is quite baffling.  We worked too hard for our efforts to be rewarded with such heartbreaking grades. Think about the sleepless nights, the extra classes, and the numerous mocks we had written just to get prepared for these papers. We do not feel there are errors in the results, we know that there are errors.

We need an explanation from the West African Examination Council as to why this is so. We cannot comprehend how they could be so cavalier about our results. This is our first external examination and if we were given grades that were not due us, what then are we to expect from them in the future?

I humbly ask for your help in making this known to WAEC, so that they would look closely into our results and make the necessary corrections. I suggest a mass reevaluation of the results as soon as possible.
