When Will WASSCE Results 2024 Be Released in Ghana?

The release of the 2024 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) results has been delayed Again due to the government's outstanding financial obligations to the West African Examinations Council (WAEC). This delay has created uncertainty for students and disrupted university admissions.

What We Know

• The Delay: Unlike last year, when results were released on December 18th, this year's batch will have to wait longer, possibly until 2025. WAEC attributes the delay to incomplete post-exam processes, which cannot be finalized until the financial issues are resolved.
• Impact on Admissions: To mitigate the impact, the Ghana Education Service (GES) and the Ghana National Accreditation Board (NAB) are working together to secure university placements for affected candidates through a special Admission Board. Candidates who applied for the awaiting form can reach out to the Admission Board on WhatsApp at +233 20 555 0989 or +233 54 160 3369 to apply for early admission.
•  Verification of Results: WAEC instructs candidates to verify whether their results are withheld or canceled through their WhatsApp assistant service at +233 20 555 0989 or +233 54 160 3369. If issues arise, candidates must visit a nearby WAEC office to request an appeal.

What This Means:

•  Uncertainty for Students: The delay in results creates anxiety and uncertainty for students who are eagerly awaiting their grades and planning their next steps. It also disrupts their university application timelines.
•  Potential for Lost Opportunities: The delay could potentially impact students' chances of securing places in their preferred universities or programs, as some institutions may have already filled their quotas.
•  Government's Financial Responsibility: The government's failure to fulfill its financial obligations to WAEC highlights a serious issue that needs to be addressed urgently to ensure the smooth and timely administration of future examinations.

What Students Can Do

•  Stay Informed: Keep up-to-date with the latest information on the release of results and university admissions through official channels like the GES and WAEC websites.
•  Reach Out for Support: If you have any questions or concerns, reach out to the Admission Board or WAEC for guidance.
• Plan Ahead: If possible, make alternative plans or explore other options in case your university application is affected by the delay.

It is hoped that the government will resolve the financial issues with WAEC promptly so that the 2024 WASSCE results can be released as soon as possible. This will allow students to move forward with their education and career plans without further disruption.
