WAEC to mark WASSCE 2022 Maths Papers With “Iron Hands” following the leakage of sections of the paper on social media.
The latest update from WAEC on the ongoing WASSCE 2022 indicates the leakage of Mathematics (Elective) Paper 2 and Mathematics (Core) Paper 2. According to the council, it received reports of some handwritten extracts of some questions from the two mathematics papers on monitored social media platforms.
It has therefore indicated it will implement best practices in accessing and marking the scripts to protect the credibility of the results.
“With respect to Mathematics (Elective) Paper 2 and Mathematics (Core) Paper 2 however, reports were received of some handwritten extracts of some questions
on monitored platforms. The Council would, as such, deploy various internationally accepted assessment procedures to guarantee the credibility of results for the two papers. Investigations are ongoing, and any further developments will be communicated accordingly.” The statement said.

Some times I don't know what is wrong with GES and WACE. The Students are seating comfortably in their homes praying for God to help them go through the Exam they'll write successful, and now they'll say there's a lickage in an Examination without even them knowing anything about. WACE is the one Setting the questions for the people and they still keep it with them, the paper only come for the students to write. So now all this, who is going to be blame now. The Students or WACE.
