WAEC releases 2025 withheld WASSCE for School results online

The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has released the results of some candidates it withheld over irregularities detected during the 2025 West African Senior School Certificate Examination for School.

This comes after the not-for-profit-making organisation, after releasing the provisional results of the examination, said it was working to release the withheld WASSCE School results of candidates affected.

The Executive Director of Africa Education Watch (EduWatch), Mr Kofi Asare, who announced the release of the pending examination results in a social media post, said, “WAEC has released a batch of previously withheld results.”
