The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has left the fate of thousands of students hanging in unknown grounds as they struggle to release the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) results. The council's inability to release the results on time has sparked widespread concern among students, parents, and educators.
Damaged Scanners and Funding Woes
According to reports, WAEC's scanners, which are essential for processing and marking exam scripts, have been damaged. The council estimates that a whopping 118 million Ghana cedis is required to repair or replace the scanners. This financial burden has further complicated the already delayed results release process.
WAEC's Break Adds to the Delay
To make matters worse, WAEC has embarked on a break, which will undoubtedly prolong the delay in releasing the WASSCE results. This break has left students and parents in a state of uncertainty, anxiously waiting for the results that will determine their academic future.
Students' Fate Hangs in the Balance
As the delay continues, the fate of thousands of students hangs by a thread in the balance. The uncertainty around the results release has caused undue stress and anxiety among students, who are eager to know their academic standing. The delay also threatens to disrupt the academic calendar, potentially affecting students' chances of securing admission into tertiary institutions.
The delay in releasing the WASSCE results has caused unnecessary anxiety and uncertainty among students, parents, and educators. WAEC must take immediate action with GES and the government of Ghana to address the technical and financial challenges hindering the results release process. The council owes it to the students to provide timely and efficient service, ensuring that their academic future is not jeopardized by avoidable delays.
Stakeholders and the government are been called upon to meet the financial obligations required for the processing of the results. However, as they break for Christmas, is there hope that the results will be released in due time?
