WAEC begins 78th NEC meeting, to address 2024 exam malpractices

The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has begun its 78th Nigeria Examinations Committee (NEC) meeting to address cases of malpractice and irregularities reported during the 2024 WASSCE for school candidates.

In a statement shared on Monday, the council urged stakeholders to stay informed about the outcomes of the meeting, emphasizing the importance of maintaining exam integrity.

WAEC revealed that 215,267 results were withheld due to malpractice in the 2024 May/June examination, while 1,685,889 candidates—93.9 percent of those who sat for the exam—had their results released.

Out of 1,805,216 candidates who registered, 1,301,949 (72.9 percent) secured credits in five subjects, including Mathematics and English. However, this marked a 7.6 percent decrease in performance compared to the 2023 WASSCE.
