📍📍 *UPDATE ON WITHHELD RESULTS OF CANDIDATES OF THE WASSCE FOR SCHOOL CANDIDATES, 2024* The West African Examinations Council released provisional results of candidates who sat for the WASSCE for School Candidates, 2024 on December 30, 2024. A total of 460,611 candidates drawn from 1,003 schools sat for the examination. A number of irregularities were recorded in the course of the examination. These irregularities ranged from bringing foreign material into the examination halls, snapping and posting of questions on social media, distribution of photocopied responses to candidates and cases of invigilators assisting candidates in the examination halls. A number of these cases which were of criminal nature were reported to the police for appropriate action, while others involving candidates directly were reported to the office for appropriate sanctions to be applied. Following completion of investigations into these malpractice cases, the Council upon approval by the Ghana Examinations Committee, took the following actions: Cancellation of subject results of 4,108 candidates for bringing foreign material into the examination hall; Cancellation of entire results of 483 candidates for possession of mobile phones in the examination hall; Withholding of subject results of 781 candidates; Withholding of entire results of 209 candidates for various suspected offences; Withholding of subject results of candidates from 319 schools. The withholding of results came as a result of reports made by examiners who in the course of marking the scripts discovered some alleged instances of collusion in the scripts of the candidates.
