WAEC BANS CANDIDATES, SCHOOLS FROM IT’S EXAMS OVER MALPRACTICE

The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has cancelled the entire results of some candidates who were found culpable of examination malpractices during three of its examinations between 2020 and 2021, including the last school-based West African Senior School Certificate Examinations (WASSCE) and the two previous editions for private candidates.

It has also banned some candidates from sitting for any of its examinations for two years and cancelled some subjects in the results of some other candidates, while derecognising some schools indefinitely or for certain number of years as centres for its examinations.

Some supervisors and invigilators are also to be punished for their ignoble roles during the conduct of the various examinations.
