The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has introduced a new platform, dubbed the WAEC Irregularity Reporting & Investigation System (https://irreg.waecgh.org), to help candidates check the status of their malpractice cases in the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE).
In a blog post sighted by Pretertiary.com, the Council said candidates whose subject grade(s) are marked with ‘W’ (withheld) or ‘*’ (cancelled) can visit irreg.waecgh.org for more information on the status of their results.
According to the West African Examinations Council, the https://irreg.waecgh.org is a transparent, secure platform for managing, reporting, and investigating examination malpractices in the Basic Education Certificate Examination.
