The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has dissociated itself from a viral letter listing 50 schools across different parts of the country as those whose students’ 2026 West African Senior Secondary Certificate Exam (WASSCE) were withheld. The letter claimed WAEC has withheld the results over examination malpractices. “The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) wishes to inform you that the results of candidates from the under-listed schools have been withheld due to alleged cases of malpractice in the 2026 WASSCE for School Candidates examination. It did not originate from WAEC,” the examination body wrote, and attached a copy of the letter. The clarification comes hours after WAEC announced the release of the 2026 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) results for school candidates on Wednesday.
