The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has temporarily withdrawn access to the 2025 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) results for school candidates.
This action follows the discovery of technical problems associated with a new system introduced during the exams. The issue was detected during an internal review conducted by the Council shortly after the results were released.
According to WAEC, the problem was traced to the recent introduction of paper serialisation in key subjects such as Mathematics, English Language, Biology, and Economics. The measure was designed to curb exam malpractice but inadvertently led to errors in the display of results for these subjects.
As a result, the online result checker portal has been shut down, preventing candidates from accessing their results.
WAEC has assured all affected candidates that the issue is being resolved and that access to the portal will be restored once the technical problems are fixed. Candidates have been advised to recheck after 24 hours, and the Council apologised for the inconvenience caused.
