The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) is set to release the results of the May/June 2024 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) today, Monday, 12th August 2024.
According to The Sun, the WAEC acting Head of Public Affairs, Mrs. Moyosola Adesina, said the Head of the National Office (HNO), Dr. Amos Dangut, will announce the release of the May/June 2024 WASSCE results at Yaba headquarters.
The release of the results comes 45 days after the conduct of the last paper.
News360 Info recalls Dangut had said in April 2024 that out of 1.8million students who sat for the exam, 902,328 (49.73 percent) are males and 912,016 females (50.27 percent).
He said the candidates who sat for the examination were examined in 76 subjects, made up of 197 papers, while 30,000 secondary school teachers supervised the examination.
Dangut said: “In tune with our recent tradition, the results of candidates sitting the examination will be released 45 days after the conduct of the last paper, while certificates will be printed and issued to schools in less than 90 days after the release of results.”
He added that the results will be released along with the digital copies of candidates’ certificates, which can be accessed on the digital certificate platform.
With the conduct of the 2024 admission exercise already in swing by universities, polytechnics and colleges of education following the conclusion of the education policy meeting, the release of the WASSCE results would help many candidates who are hoping to gain admission during the current process.
News360 Info reports that some institutions have started the admission process with dates for the Post-UTME screening/test.
