The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has asked 8,486 candidates in the 2022 West African Senior School Certificate Examinations (WASSCE), to pick their results from their various schools.
These are students deemed to have either damaged school property or failed to return school property in their care.
It was disclosed in a communiqué released on the WAEC website that these students had engaged in vandalism or failed to return school property
“The results of 8,486 candidates who failed to return learning support materials supplied to them and/or destroyed school property cannot be accessed online at the Council’s website,” the directives said.
WAEC on Wednesday, November 30 released the provisional results for the 2022 WASSCE, and followed it up Thursday, with directives on how candidates can access their results.
WAEC indicated that the released results were for only Ghanaians who participated in the 2022 WASSCE.
