WAEC Withdraws 2025 WASSCE Results Over Technical Glitch
The West African Examinations Council has temporarily withdrawn the 2025 West African Senior School Certificate Examination results due to technical issues linked to a newly introduced paper serialization method aimed at curbing examination malpractice. This security feature was piloted in key subjects, including Mathematics, English Language, Biology, and Economics.
According to WAEC’s Acting Head of Public Affairs, Moyosola Adesina, the council discovered technical bugs during an internal review after the results were released. To maintain the integrity of the examination process, WAEC has disabled access to the results on its official portal for 24 hours to rectify the issues.
Affected candidates have been advised to re-check their results after this period, when updated and corrected versions will be available. WAEC has apologized to candidates, parents, and the general public for the inconvenience, reassuring them of its commitment to fairness, transparency, and excellence in its examination processes.
The council emphasized that the temporary withdrawal of results reflects its dedication to upholding global best practices in assessment and ensuring the credibility of its certificates. WAEC urges candidates and stakeholders to remain calm and confident in its ability to resolve the issue promptly
In a statement, Adesina explained that the paper serialization method was modeled after practices used by other national examination bodies and was introduced to enhance examination security. However, the post-release audit revealed bugs that may have affected the accuracy of the released scores. WAEC has pledged to work diligently to resolve the matter with transparency and urgency. #WAEC Withdraws 2025 WASSCE Results Over Technical Glitch#
