In a significant move to enhance the efficiency of the marking process for the 2024 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE), the Ministry of Education has allocated an additional GHS25 million to the West African Examinations Council (WAEC). This funding is aimed at addressing recent delays in result processing that have arisen due to financial challenges faced by WAEC.
The announcement underscores the Ministry's commitment to ensuring that examination operations run smoothly. Kwasi Kwarteng, Esq., the Spokesperson for the Ministry of Education, emphasized the importance of timely WASSCE results for students, parents, and educational institutions. He stated, “The Ministry recognizes that prompt results are crucial for all stakeholders involved. This additional funding will bolster WAEC’s capabilities and facilitate the uninterrupted marking of examinations.”
In response to the government’s initiative, WAEC has expressed appreciation for the support and reassured the Ministry that efforts are underway to ensure the results for the 2024 WASSCE will be released in a timely manner. Although the specific date for the results announcement has not yet been disclosed, both WAEC and the Ministry are dedicated to maintaining an efficient and expedited process.
