WAEC Releases Names Of Basic Schools Who Failed To Upload Candidates’ Continuous Assessment Scores
The West African Examinations Council(WAEC) has released names of all basic schools who failed to upload continuous assessment scores of 2023 BECE candidates to the WAEC portal before the deadline.

“The West African Examinations Council(WAEC) has in a letter dated 27th June, 2023 informed the Director-General that the deadline for the capture and uploading of candidates’ Continuous Assessment Scores (CASS) ended on Wednesday, 21st June, 2023.
However, there are five hundred and twenty-eight (528) schools (both public
and private) with a total number of sixteen thousand, seven hundred and
sixty-three (16,763) candidates have still not uploaded their CASS. In view of the above, WAEC has extended the period to 14th July, 2023 for the outstanding schools to capture and upload their scores. By this letter, Regional Directors are requested to bring this information to the attention of the Metro/Municipal/District Directors of the affected schools and impress upon the Heads to upload their scores before the 14th July, 2023 deadline to enable WAEC meet timelines for key activities regarding the examination.
Please, find attached list of outstanding schools for your attention and necessary action. Thank you.”
BECE 2023 – OUTSTANDING CASS-1
Did you know that WASSCE and BECE are always marked and rounded to 70%? What then happens to the 30% which seems to have been deducted from your marks?
Well, it’s quite simple. Over the years, WAEC always give credit to academic activities in our various senior and junior high schools. The exercises, homeworks, end of term exams and project works all form part of the final assessment. This is known as the continuous assessment. It is 30% of all your class work at school.
If you get grade A1 in WASSCE or BECE, it doesn’t mean you had that grade solely in the WASSCE or BECE, but rather all class assessments such the homeworks and the exercises formed part of such grade.
The grading for the WASSCE (SC) and BECE (SC) is 70% external examination score and 30% continuous assessment score.

Since WASSCE and BECE are marked out of 70%, then candidates should make sure they get the remaining 30% from the senior and junior high schools they attended. Paying attention in class and taking part in all class assignments will give you a perfect grade in the external exams.
One may perform poorly in the external examinations but if such student has a better grade in the school assessment, it will be very difficult for such student to fail in the exams.
The 2023 WASSCE and BECE is set to take place on July 31 and August 7 respectively. Registration portas for both examination are almost closed.
