The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has announced the release of the results for the 2022 May/June diet of the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) for school-based candidates.

The regional examination body said a total of 1,222,505 candidates, amounting to 76.36 per cent of the 1,601,047 candidates that successfully sat the examination, obtained credits and above in a minimum of five (5) subjects, including English Language and Mathematics subjects.

 

The statistics represent a decrease of more than five per cent in performance when compared with the 81.7 per cent pass rate recorded in 2021.

Announcing the results at the national office of the examination body in Lagos, the Head of Nigeria Office (HNO), Patrick Areghan, said a total of 597,811 of the candidates, representing 37.34 per cent, were males; while 624,694, representing 39.02 per cent, were females.

 

Areghan further added that 1,437,629 candidates, representing 89.79 per cent, have their results fully processed and released while 163,418 candidates, representing 10.21 per cent, have a few of their subjects “still being processed due to some issues being resolved.”

 

“Efforts are, however, being made to speedily complete the processing to enable all the affected candidates to get their results fully processed and released within the next one week,” he said.

 

He, however, noted that the results of 365,564 candidates, representing 22.83 per cent of the total number of candidates that sat for the examination, were being withheld in connection with various cases of examination malpractice.

 

“This is 11.74 per cent higher than the 10.9 per cent recorded in the WASSCE for School Candidates, 2021,” he added.

 

He linked the high number of such cases to the poor preparation by candidates, saying “preparations for examinations are poor.”

 

He further said there was over-reliance on malpractices and “the so-called ‘Expo,” which he noted is actually non-existent.

 

“Candidates simply got frustrated when they got into the examination hall and discovered that all they had celebrated was fake. This has pitiably led to some of them failing the examination, which if they had relied on themselves and studied hard, would have passed like many others,” he said.

 

He pledged that the Council will continue to sanction all cases of examination malpractice and that schools, supervisors, teachers and candidates found guilty would be dealt with according to the laws of the country.

 

“It is the child whose future is being destroyed. Parents must stop funding ‘expo’ for their children; it does not help. Those who indulge in posting items on designated platforms are nothing but destiny destroyers. Beneficiaries of such ‘help’ will never go unpunished as they will never have their results. All hands must be on deck to sanitise the system,” he stated.

 

Meanwhile, the examination body complained of the impact of insecurity on the conduct of the examinations, revealing ugly experiences in both the South-eastern and North-western regions of the country.

 

Areghan, however, thanked the security operatives and officials of WAEC for their commitment and dedication throughout the period the examination lasted.

 

He added: “As usual, we were faced with the Herculean task of conducting the examination in a harsh environment, given the current insecurity in the country, with the numerous cases of banditry, kidnapping and insurgency.”
