The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has announced the provisional results for the 2025 Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) intended for school candidates.
In a press release dated August 23, 2025, WAEC verified that the results have been dispatched to schools via the Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Directors of Education. Additionally, candidates have the option to view their results online at www.waecgh.org.
As stated by John Kapi, Head of Public Affairs, the release comes after thorough investigations into the irregularities noted during both the examination and the marking process. Following this review, the 36th Meeting of the Final Awards and Examiners’ Appointment Committee sanctioned the following measures:
- Subject results of 718 candidates cancelled
- Entire results of 177 candidates cancelled
- Subject results of 1,240 candidates withheld
- Entire results of 93 candidates withheld
This brings the total number of cancelled results to 895 and withheld results to 1,333.
Additionally, subject results from 119 schools were cancelled, while results from 87 schools remain under investigation. The final outcome of these cases will be determined by September 6, 2025, when withheld results will either be released or cancelled.
Candidates affected by withheld or cancelled results can check details via https://irreg.waec.org or by selecting the “withheld/cancelled results” tab on WAEC’s homepage. School authorities can also access the information using their official login credentials.
WAEC has warned candidates and the public against engaging with fraudsters claiming they can upgrade results for a fee, emphasizing that all results issued are authentic, tamper-proof, and verifiable.
WAEC also expressed appreciation to the Ministry of Education, Ghana Education Service, security agencies, invigilators, school heads, examiners, and other stakeholders for their support in ensuring the smooth conduct of the 2025 BECE and the release of results.
