The Ministry of Education has taken a significant step to address the concerns of students, parents, and stakeholders by releasing an additional GH¢25 million to the West African Examinations Council (WAEC). This funding aims to facilitate the prompt release of the 2024 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) results, which have been eagerly awaited by students nationwide.
The announcement was made earlier today by the Education Ministry’s Public Relations Office, confirming their commitment to ensuring smooth operations and timely delivery of examination results. According to the Ministry, this latest tranche is part of efforts to meet WAEC’s financial demands and resolve any delays caused by logistical challenges.
In recent weeks, there has been mounting anxiety among candidates and their families over the delay in releasing the results. Many fear this could disrupt admissions into tertiary institutions for the 2024/2025 academic year. Stakeholders have repeatedly called on the government to intervene, emphasizing the importance of timely results for academic progression.
The Education Minister, Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum, reassured the public of the government’s dedication to supporting WAEC. He stated, “We are committed to ensuring that no student is disadvantaged due to financial constraints or administrative delays. This additional GH¢25 million is to ensure WAEC meets all operational needs and releases the results without further delay.”
WAEC officials have welcomed the intervention and assured the public that they are working tirelessly to finalize the grading and quality assurance processes. Speaking to the press, a WAEC representative explained that the additional funding will help expedite ongoing processes, including printing and distribution of the results.
Candidates are advised to remain calm as the results are expected to be released in the coming days. The Ministry has called on WAEC to provide timely updates to keep the public informed of progress.
This development has sparked conversations on social media, with many applauding the government’s swift action while others urge consistent measures to prevent such delays in the future.
