The provisional results of 37,825 applicants who took the West African Senior School Certificate Examination for Private applicants, 2023 – Second Series, have been made public by the West African Examinations Council (WAEC).
WAEC reports that 20,725 ladies and 17,389 males made up the entrance figure. Sixteen candidates with vision impairments were included in the figure.
According to a statement sent by John Kapi, Head of Public Affairs, 1,231 candidates who enrolled for the test did not show up.
“The results of 289 candidates alleged to have been involved in various cases of examination malpractice have been withheld, pending the conclusion of investigations into the cases of malpractice. These malpractices include collusion, impersonation, bringing foreign materials, including mobile phones, into the examination hall and seeking external assistance among others.
“The withheld results of candidates will be released or cancelled based on the outcome of investigations,” statement said.
“Candidates are to note that WAEC’s results database is well-secured and all results can be authenticated. Institutions and organisations are therefore advised to confirm or verify results presented to them directly from WAEC, access the confirmation/verification service online at the WAEC website or download the WAEC QR Code,” statement added.
