The West African Examinations Council, WAEC, has issued a formal apology to candidates and the general public following the discovery of technical issues in the recently released results of the West African Senior School Certificate Examination, WASSCE, for School Candidates (SC) 2025.
The Ag. Head of Public Affairs said on Thursday, August 7, at WAEC, from the council’s headquarters in Yaba, Lagos, Moyosola Adesina, the council acknowledged that measures were applied to combat examination malpractice, which included a new innovation known as paper serialization.
This method was applied to key subjects such as Mathematics, English Language, Biology, and Economics. However, an internal review conducted post-results release uncovered unexpected technical bugs affecting the accuracy of the scores.
