The West African Examinations Council has made public the previously withheld results of certain students who participated in the 2022 WASSCE. Some students discovered that one or more of their results had been withheld after the 2022 WASSCE results were released, owing to alleged malpractices during the exams.

To investigate the issue, the West African Examination Council established a disciplinary committee and summoned all affected candidates to attend. Candidates cooperated with the Council’s investigation into the alleged misconduct. However, candidates who failed to comply with the summons may have their results’ final determination affected.

WAEC has now issued some of the withheld results for affected candidates following the inquiry. Students can print their entire results.

This announcement comes after the West African Examination Council (WAEC) revealed the provisional results of the 2022 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE). The Council posted the results online, and candidates who wish to view their results may do so on the Council’s website www.ghana

PERFORMANCE STATISTICS

977 schools had a total of 422,883 candidates sit for the examination, consisting of 203,753 males and 219,130 females. This number is 5.25% lower than the 2021 entry figure of 446,352, and 2,818 candidates (0.6796) who registered were absent from the exam.

According to data from WAEC, candidates performed better in Social Studies over a three-year period (2020-2022). However, the performance in English Language, Core Mathematics, and Integrated Science showed a fluctuating trend during the same period.

CANCELLED RESULTS

The results of 3,845 candidates have been cancelled due to the violation of sending foreign material into the examination hall. In addition, the entire results of 518 candidates have also been cancelled for bringing mobile phones into the examination hall.

Furthermore, the results of 117 candidates have been withheld due to alleged cases of impersonation detected during the examination. Investigation is ongoing and the results may be cancelled or released depending on the outcome.

Moreover, the examination scripts of some candidates from 179 schools in certain subjects are under scrutiny for reported cases of collusion.

It should be noted that the withheld results of candidates are subject to change based on the conclusion of investigations.
