The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has released the provisional results of candidates who sat for the 2025 Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE).

In a statement issued on Saturday, August 23, WAEC said the results of school candidates will be sent to their respective schools through the Metropolitan, Municipal and District Directors of Education.

Candidates may also access their results online via the Council’s official website, www.waecgh.org.

According to WAEC, a total of 603,328 candidates—297,250 males and 306,078 females—from 20,395 schools registered for the examination.

The figure includes 72 visually impaired candidates, 239 with hearing impairment, and 161 with other special needs. The exams were held at 2,237 centres nationwide, with 2,526 candidates absent.

WAEC also confirmed that investigations into cases of malpractice had resulted in sanctions approved by the 36th Meeting of the Final Awards and Examiners’ Appointment Committee on 15th August 2025. These include:

• Cancellation of subject results of 718 candidates.
• Cancellation of entire results of 177 candidates.
• Withholding of subject results of 1,240 candidates.

In addition, the Council noted that subject results of candidates from 119 schools have been cancelled, while those from 87 schools have been withheld for further scrutiny.

WAEC indicated that withheld results may either be released or cancelled following investigations by 6th September 2025.

The Council advised affected candidates to visit its website and click on the withheld/cancelled results button to access details of the decisions and guidance on the next steps.

Heads of schools and proprietors can also check the status of their candidates’ results using their listing logins.

WAEC cautioned candidates and the public against fraudsters who promise to alter results for a fee, stressing that its results are secure and can be authenticated.

The Council expressed appreciation to the Ministry of Education, the Ghana Education Service, security agencies, heads of schools, supervisors, invigilators and examiners for their role in the successful conduct of the examination and the release of results.
