WAEC gives reason BECE Creative Arts and Design results shows P

The management of the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) says some mistakes made by its supervisors and candidates who sat for the 2024 BECE contributed to the pending Creative Arts and Design results.
“The pending results are due to some mistakes made by our supervisors and candidates who did not follow instructions,” the Head of Public Affairs at WAEC, John Kapi said in an interview monitored by Pretertiary.com.
“For instance, your music script may be correctly marked by the music examiner, but the design section of that same script cannot be marked by the same examiner,” Kapi explained, emphasising the need for proper script handling to ensure accuracy.
He following the management of the West African Examinations Council’s swift response to address the Creative Arts and Desing results issue has urged parents and guardians to remain patient while WAEC continues processing the results.
“We want to appeal to parents and guardians to exercise restraint because we had our people working throughout the night, and hopefully, we will release those results soon,” the Public Relations Officer (PRO) stated.
The spokesperson also said the not-for-profit-making organization (WAEC) is working hard to release the withheld provisional results of candidates who participated in the 2024 Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE).
The provisional results of the students who sat for the 2024 edition of the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) for School and Private were released on Saturday, October 19, 2024.
In a statement, WAEC said the results of 33 school candidates and three private candidates have been withheld, while subject results from candidates in 149 schools are currently under review due to reported examination irregularities.
