WAEC reveal date to release BECE C Arts & Design pending results
The Creative Arts and Design pending results of the 2024 Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) for School and Private candidates will be released by October 24, 2024, the West African Examinations Council has said.
In an interview monitored by Pretertiary.com, the Head of Public Affairs at WAEC, John Kapi said every effort has been made by his outfit to ensure all prospective BECE candidates get their results and every mark they deserve.
Acknowledging the widespread of the pending Creative Arts and Design results, the spokesperson revealed that three regions in the country were still awaiting the completion of script marking for the 2024 BECE results.
The Public Relations Officer said the West African Examinations Council encountered difficulties during the grading of the Creative Arts and Design subject saying “but the council has completed 70% of the pending results.”
“Because of the STANINE grading system, if you decide to grade some of them without the others, it is possible that at the end of the day, you will be cheating somebody and giving them a lower grade than they deserve,” he said.
Reacting to claims that the issue with the pending BECE Creative Arts and Design results was a marking issue, he said it was rather a matter of matching the scripts and marks received for the various components of the subject.
“As of now, we’ve completed 70% of the task, and I anticipate that by the end of today, we’ll be able to complete the remaining 30%. After that, I’m confident that everyone who will be reviewing their results starting tomorrow will receive their complete results.” Kapi said.
