The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has successfully completed the 2024 WASSCE for school candidates, despite incidents of exam malpractice.

The exam, held from August 5 to September 20, involved 460,611 candidates from 1,003 schools across 1,000 centers nationwide.

Monitoring was conducted by WAEC staff, security agencies, and educational bodies.
