The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has announced a temporary suspension of access to the 2025 WASSCE results for school candidates, following the discovery of a technical issue during a routine internal review.
According to a statement released by the Acting Head of Public Affairs, Moyosola Adesina, the issue arose after WAEC implemented a new security feature known as paper serialization, a measure aimed at curbing examination malpractice and aligning with global best practices in assessment. The innovation was applied to four major subjects namely Mathematics, English Language, Biology and Economics.
In light of the glitch, WAEC has taken the responsible step of temporarily disabling result access on its online checker portal while it works to resolve the issue.
Affected candidates and parents are understandably anxious but WAEC has assured the public that the problem will be addressed within 24 hours. Students who have already checked their results are advised to recheck after the stated period for updated and accurate information.
The Council expressed its sincere apologies for the inconvenience and emphasized its ongoing commitment to fairness, transparency and the delivery of quality service.
WAEC concluded the statement by thanking the public for its continued trust and understanding, reassuring all stakeholders that corrective steps are being taken swiftly.
- For updates, candidates are encouraged to monitor the official WAEC website and social media channels.
