However, the ongoing funding shortfall could impact this timeline, particularly affecting the marking and processing stages.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to Umaru Sanda Amadu on <strong><em>Eyewitness News<\/em><\/strong> on <strong>Citi FM<\/strong> on Tuesday, Kapi explained that while the government provided initial funding to facilitate the exams, it has not followed through with the additional funds needed for post-examination processes.<\/p>\n<p>Despite several meetings and assurances, WAEC has yet to receive the promised support, putting the council in a challenging position as it prepares for the marking exercise.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBefore the exam started, we indicated that the government had given us money to be able to conduct the examination, and the assurances were that once the exam was over, more releases would be made so that we would be able to go ahead with our post-examination activities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut as we speak, despite meetings that have been held, we still have not had any money hitting our account yet, and so our fear is that this would jeopardize the marking exercise,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2026The amount for the WASSCE school candidates for 2024 was GH\u00a2186,437,617.50. So, let\u2019s say just about GH\u00a2186 million. We received about GH\u00a260.9 million to commence the examination. We were looking at the second week of December, so at least between the 9th and the 15th of December, we are sure that we will be able to release the results.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut as we speak, lack of funds could jeopardize this and could make us move the release date forward,\u201d Kapi stated.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>#GhanaPolls2024<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>#CitiVerify<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>#ElectionBureau<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><em><strong>Explore the world of impactful news with CitiNewsroom on WhatsApp!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Click on the link to join the\u00a0\u00a0<span class=\"google-anno-t\">Citi Newsroom<\/span>\u00a0channel for curated, meaningful stories tailored just for YOU<\/strong>:\u00a0<strong>https:\/\/whatsapp.com\/channel\/0029VaCYzPRAYlUPudDDe53x<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>No spam, just the stories that truly matter! #StayInformed #CitiNewsroom #CNRDigital<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>John Kapi, Head of Public Affairs at the West African Examination Council (WAEC), has announced that the release of the 2024 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) results may face delays due to the government\u2019s outstanding debt to the council.
