The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has issued preliminary results for both school and private applicants who took the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) this year.
WAEC stated that school applicants' results will be submitted to their respective schools via Metropolitan/Municipal/District Directors of Education.
Private candidates, on the other hand, can view their results on the Council's official website, www.waecgh.org.
The West African Examination Council (WAEC) further stated that the Subject Results of 312 school applicants and 3 private candidates had been cancelled.
According to WAEC, the results were invalidated because the affected candidates brought foreign materials into the examination hall, such as prepared notes, text books, and printed materials, or collaborated with other candidates.
