WASSCE results delay will disrupt tertiary academic calendar – VC’s

In an interview with Accra-based Starr FM monitored by Pretertiary.com, the spokesperson for the not-for-profit organisation (WAEC) said that the Education Minister’s statement was misleading and inaccurate.

Mr John Kapi revealed that although the Minister had visited the WAEC office and observed some of the work being done, there was no formal discussion or assurance from WAEC regarding the WASSCE results release date.

“The Minister of Education came there. He was taken around by the head of office, shown the broken-down machines, the ones that were working, but there was no formal meeting.

He stepped out and spoke to the media, claiming that we said we would release the West African Senior School Certificate Examination results by December 28 or 29, but that is factually incorrect,” he told Starr FM.

The WAEC spokesman further criticized the Education Minister’s approach, describing it as “scandalous” for making an unsanctioned announcement that could potentially affect the credibility of the examination process.

The West African Exams Council Head of Public Affairs emphasized that such actions undermined the seriousness of the examination results and raised concerns about the potential impact on the future of the candidates.
