The results of 365,564 candidates that sat for the 2022 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) have been withheld by the West African Examinations Council (WAEC).
The highlights of the 2022 WASSCE were given yesterday by the Head of National Office (HNO) of WAEC, Patrick Areghan, in Lagos.
Meghan explained that the number of seized results (365,564) is 11.74 percent higher than the 10.9 percent recorded in 2021.
He said the candidates whose results were withheld lacked the zeal to learn.
His words: “I will say preparation for examination among our students is taking a serious nose dive, due to over-reliance on the so-called ‘expo’ or malpractice which is non-existent.
“Candidates simply got frustrated when they entered the examination hall and discovered that all they had celebrated was fake.
“This has pitiably led to some of them failing the examination, which if they had relied on themselves and studied hard, would have passed like many others.”
