According to Kapi, no formal discussion or agreement between WAEC and the Minister, Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum, ever confirmed such a timeline. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe minister visited our offices, saw the situation with the machines, and observed some processes. However, there was no formal engagement to determine or communicate a specific release date,\u201d Kapi explained during an interview with Starr FM. <\/p>\n<p>He criticized the Minister\u2019s announcement, expressing concern over its potential to create false expectations for candidates and their families.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is about people\u2019s futures. We also have staff with children waiting for these results, so this affects us all. We need honesty and collective efforts to address the challenges,\u201d he added. <\/p>\n<p>WAEC has been struggling with delays in releasing the results due to logistical issues and significant government debts, reportedly exceeding GH\u00a2100 million. <\/p>\n<p>These challenges have hindered the processing of results for over 460,000 candidates nationwide. <\/p>\n<p>Despite this, Dr. Adutwum assured the public earlier this week that WAEC is making progress and results will be out by December 29. <\/p>\n<p>However, WAEC insists no such timeline is guaranteed, urging transparency and collaboration to resolve the issues affecting the release.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has dismissed as \u201cscandalous\u201d the Education Minister&#8217;s assertion that the 2024 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) results will be released on December 29, 2024 as reported by Ghana Web on Wednesday, December 25, 2025.
