The West African Examinations Council has cancelled the results of 270 students who sat for the 2026 West African Senior School Certificate Examination. This decision was made due to suspected examination offences.
WAEC's Head of Public Affairs, John Kapi, announced the withholding of both subject and entire results. The affected candidates are suspected of cheating during the exams.
The exact nature of the examination offences has not been fully detailed. WAEC stated that investigations are ongoing into the suspected malpractice.
This action by WAEC aims to uphold the integrity of the WASSCE. The examination is a crucial assessment for senior high school students in Ghana and other West African countries.
Mr. Kapi confirmed the decision in an interview. He did not provide further details on the specific examination centres or subjects involved.
The withholding of results serves as a deterrent against examination malpractice. WAEC continues to monitor examination processes to ensure fairness.
