2022 WASSCE: WAEC Announces Results But Retains 365,564

The results of 365,564 applicants in connection with different documented incidences of test malpractice have been withheld from public publication as part of the 2022 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) results.

The West African Examinations Council’s (WAEC) Head of National Office, Patrick Areghan, said this during a briefing on Monday in Lagos.

When announcing the results, he bemoaned the students’ inadequate exam preparation, stating they were no longer capable of learning.

Areghan estimates that 365,564 candidates made up 22.83% of all candidates who took the test. She adds that this figure was 11.74% higher than the 10.9% seen in the WASSCE for School Candidates, 2021.

The explanations for this are not improbable. The candidates are no longer capable of learning. Exam preparation is lacking, he claimed.

“The so-called “Expo,” which is nonexistent, is relied upon excessively. When candidates entered the examination room and realized everything they had celebrated was a lie, they merely became frustrated.

“This has pitiably resulted in some of them failing the examination, which they would have passed like many others if they had relied on themselves and worked diligently.”

According to the performance analysis provided by the WAEC official, 76.36% of candidates who took the 2022 WASSCE received credits or higher in at least five subjects, English Language and Mathematics, and 88.04% of them received credits or higher in at least five subjects, English Language and Mathematics.

Areghan said that 1,601,047 candidates took the test out of the 1,607,981 applicants who registered from the 20,222 accredited secondary schools in the nation.

“The analysis of the statistics of the performance of candidates in the examination shows that out of the 1,601,047 candidates that sat the examination, 1,409,529 candidates, representing 88.04%, obtained credit and above in a minimum of any five subjects,” he said, “whether with or without English Language and/or Mathematics. A total of 1,222,505 candidates, or 76.36%, received credits in at least five disciplines, math and English language.

Areghan emphasized that until a state makes good on its debt to the Council, the results of candidates it sponsored will not be made public.
