The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has shared an official update addressing the delay in releasing the 2024 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) results. This delay is due to technical challenges, financial constraints, and pending post-examination activities.

Reasons for the Delay in Releasing the 2024 WASSCE Results

1. Technical Issues with Scanning Equipment

The scanning of objective answer sheets, a key step in processing results, was scheduled to take place between November 1 and November 30, 2024. Unfortunately, this process has been delayed due to the breakdown of scanners required for the job.

WAEC is working to resolve this issue but is dependent on the release of funds to repair the equipment and proceed with the scanning process.

2. Financial Constraints

An outstanding balance of GH₵118,000,000.00 is yet to be disbursed by the Ministry of Education. These funds are crucial for repairing the damaged equipment and supporting other post-examination processes.

The lack of funds has created bottlenecks, further delaying the completion of result processing activities.

3. Payments Pending for Officials and Suppliers

WAEC has appealed to its examination officials and suppliers to remain patient, as their payments are contingent on the release of funds from the Ministry of Education. This delay in payment has added to the ongoing challenges faced by the Council.

What WAEC Is Doing About the Delay

WAEC assures candidates, parents, and other stakeholders that it is doing everything possible to overcome these hurdles. The Council is committed to releasing the 2024 WASSCE results promptly after the technical and financial challenges are resolved.

In the meantime, WAEC advises the public to disregard rumors or unofficial announcements about the release date of results. Candidates should rely only on official updates from the Council.
