The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has released provisional results for the 2024 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) for school candidates in Ghana. The results are accessible online at [www.waecgh.org](www.waecgh.org), and login details will be provided to heads of schools to enable them to access their candidates’ results. Candidates are advised to be cautious of fraudsters who claim to upgrade results for a fee, as WAEC results are secure and can be verified using the WAEC QR code.
A total of 460,611 candidates, comprising 212,954 males and 247,657 females from 1,003 schools, registered for the examination, representing a 2.66% increase over the 2023 figure of 448,674. However, 4,609 candidates (1.0%) were absent from the examination.
Following investigations, the 37th Meeting of the Ghana Examinations Committee, held on December 16, 2024, approved the cancellation of Subject Results for 4,108 candidates who brought foreign materials such as prepared notes, textbooks, and printed material into the examination halls. Entire Results for 483 candidates were cancelled due to possession of mobile phones in the examination halls. Additionally, Subject Results for 781 candidates and Entire Results for 209 candidates were withheld due to various suspected offences.
Moreover, subject results of candidates from 319 schools have been withheld for alleged collusion. These cases are still under investigation, and the withheld results may be released or cancelled depending on the outcome.
The Council expressed its sincerest gratitude to stakeholders, including the Ministry of Education, Ghana Education Service, and the Security Agencies, for their continued support.
