WAEC Releases Provisional Results for 2024 BECE Candidates; Withholds Results of 149 Schools

The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has announced the release of provisional results for candidates who participated in the 2024 Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE), covering both school and private candidates.

In a statement dated 19 October 2024, WAEC confirmed that results for school candidates will be dispatched to institutions through the respective Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Directors of Education.

The examination process, however, was marked by a series of malpractices. Following investigations, the Council’s Final Awards and Examiners’ Appointment Committee, during its 35th session on 16 October, approved the annulment of results for several candidates. Specifically, the results of 377 school candidates and 3 private candidates were voided due to infractions, including the use of prohibited materials and collusion. Furthermore, the entire results of 41 school candidates and 1 private candidate were cancelled.

In addition, results for 33 school candidates and 3 private candidates are currently withheld, pending further investigation into suspected irregularities. WAEC also noted that results from 149 schools have been temporarily held due to malpractice concerns, with the possibility of cancellation depending on the outcome of further investigations.

A total of 569,236 candidates, from 19,505 schools, registered for the school examination. This figure included 282,703 males and 286,533 females. Among the candidates, 59 had visual impairments, 263 had hearing impairments, and 161 had other special educational needs. The examination was conducted across 2,123 centres nationwide, with 3,845 candidates recorded as absent.

For private candidates, 1,390 individuals—750 males and 640 females—sat for the examination across 15 centres, primarily in regional capitals. Fifty-seven private candidates were reported absent.
