    WAEC to release 2024 WASSCE results Monday

    The results of the May/June 2024 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) will be reportedly released 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.

    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.

     

  • Why WAEC suspended manual confirmation of results

    Why WAEC suspended manual confirmation of results

    The West African Examinations Council (WAEC), Nigeria has given a reason why the council would no longer provide manual confirmation or stamping of certificates of candidates who sat the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) from 1999 till date.

    This followed the launch of the WAEC Digital Certificate Platform for a seamless and timely mode of availing stakeholders of their candidates’ certificates.

    In a statement on Sunday by the council’s Ag. Head, Public Affairs, Moyosola Adesina, the examination body urged stakeholders and the general public to utilise the digital certificate platform to ease the bottlenecks associated with the manual access and confirmation system.

    TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) learned that efforts were underway to expand the platform to accommodate candidates from 1980 and updates will be provided to the public as they become available.

    “The WAEC Digital Certificate Platform allows candidates to access, download, and share their original WAEC certificates. Institutions and organisations can also promptly and securely confirm the certificates of candidates.

    “Note that certificates accessed and shared through the platform are authentic and sourced directly from the WAEC database.

    “We kindly request that institutions, organisations, agencies, embassies, high commissions, etc, provide email addresses for the digital sharing, receiving, and verification of certificates,” it added.
