The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has officially released the results for the 2024 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE), conducted in May and June.
Amos Dangut, WAEC’s Head of Nigeria Office, made the announcement on Monday, revealing that results for 1,685,889 candidates, representing 93.9% of those who sat for the exam, have been released.
Despite challenges posed by insecurity in various regions, a total of 1,805,216 candidates registered for the examination. Dangut reported that out of those who sat for the exam, 1,332,089 candidates secured credits in five subjects, including at least one of either Mathematics or English Language, while 1,301,949 candidates earned credits in five subjects, including both Mathematics and English Language. This represents 72.9% of the total candidates.
However, Dangut noted a 7.6% decline in overall performance compared to the previous year. Additionally, 215,267 results, accounting for 11.92% of the total candidates, were withheld due to suspected examination malpractice.
