The West African Examinations Council (WAEC), has asked the general public to disregard reports that it has officially released results of candidates who sat for the 2018 Basic Education Certificate Examinations (BECE).
There are widespread rumours on social media that the results of the 2018 BECE results of school candidates have been released
Although WAEC has already released the results of the 2018 private school candidates, it said it is yet to release that of the school candidates.
“The West African Examinations Council wishes to inform its stakeholders that it is yet to release the results of the BECE for school candidates, 2018”, WAEC said in a statement signed by Agnes Teye-Cudjoe ,Head of Public Affairs.
WAEC further said “it will duly issue a statement announcing the release of the results after all post-examination processes have been completed.”
2018 BECE
509,826 candidates from public and private basic schools across the country sat for the June 2018 BECE.
The figure was made up of 263,295 males and 246,529 females.
A total of 16, 060 schools participated in the exams.
The West African Examination Council (WAEC), coordinators of the exam, used 1,772 centres across the country to conduct the examination.
During the period, parliament urged the West African Examination Council (WAEC) to ensure that the exams run smoothly without any hitches.
Successful candidates in the 2018 BECE become the second batch of students who will benefit from government Free SHS.
WAEC releases 2018 private BECE results
In June 2018, the West African Examinations Council (WAEC), released the provisional results of private candidates who sat for the 2018 edition of the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE).
The Deputy Director of Public Affairs of the WAEC, Mrs. Agnes Teye-Cudjoe, in a release, said the results were on the council’s website and accessible to candidates.
The results of seven candidates were withheld over allegations of examination malpractice.
WAEC said the held-up results would be released as soon as investigations were completed, and there was no strong evidence to prove malpractice.
