WAEC Releases 2022 Withheld WASSCE Results For Some Schools And Students
The West African Examinations Council has released some withheld results of some students who partook in the 2022 WASSCE.
After the release of the 2022 WASSCE results, some students saw that one or two of their results have been withheld. This was due to some alleged examination malpractices during the exams.
The West African Examination Council commenced an investigation into the matter and invited all affected candidates into their various disciplinary committee centers.
Candidates assisted the Council to conclude its investigations into the alleged irregularities. Candidates who failed to honour such invitation may find themselves wanting on the final determination of their results’.
After such investigation, WAEC has released some of the withheld results of some candidates that were affected. Students can now print their entire results.
This comes after the West African Examination Council (WAEC) released the provisional results of the 2022 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE).
The Council hosted the results online and candidates who so desire may access their results at the Council’s website, www.waecgh.org.
