The Monrovia Office of the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) today, Monday, September 16, 2024 released the results of the Senior High School Certificate Examination (WASSCE), the ninth grade and lower level.

Announcing the results at a news conference in Monrovia, the Head of WAEC’s Monrovia Office, Dale Gbotoe said:

“The West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) for School Candidates was administered at 357 centers in the fifteen counties and the Republic of Guinea from May 15 to June 25, 2024. The overall performance of the candidates at the passing rate of at least a subject on the Examination is encouraging as compared to their counterparts who sat the same examination nationally for the first time in 2018. Nine subjects were offered on the examination with the Arts candidates sitting for seven of the nine subjects while the Science candidates sat a minimum of eight of the nine subjects.”

However, WAEC says the “results for some candidates and in some instances, all candidates from some schools are being withheld pending further investigation and determination by the appropriate committee of Council.”

 “Seven hundred and twenty-five (725) candidates’ results are being withheld for their involvement in four types of Examination Malpractice,” the WAEC result show.
