The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has released its West African Senior School Certificate Examination, (WASSCE) result for private candidates.
The WASSCE for private candidates was conducted between 27th October and 20th December, 2023.
Moyosore Adesina, the WAEC’s Acting Head of Public Affairs Department, said a total of 78,419 candidates, representing 96.93% have their results fully processed and released, while 2,485 candidates, representing 3.07% have a few of their subjects still being processed due to some errors by the candidates.
In a statement signed by Adesina on Tuesday, WAEC said a total of 85,600 candidates registered for the examination but 80,904 sat for the examinations in 568 centers across the country.
The statement reads:
“Efforts are being made to speedily complete the processing to enable all the affected candidates to get their results fully processed and released soon.
“The candidates in WASSCE for Private Candidates, though can register for eight or nine subjects, are not compelled to take all. They are free to sit, even one subject, depending on the deficiency they want to remedy.
For them, therefore, the examination is only a remedial one – a remedy for an existing deficiency. From the above, it will not be true or fair to say that the performance in this examination has dwindled.”
