Here’s why WAEC has withheld your 2020 BECE result
The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) says results of prospective candidates are withheld when they have not been released by the Council even though the results of the examination have been officially released.
The Examinations Council in a blogpost sighted by Georgeweb.org on its website said this usually happens when those candidates are being investigated for their alleged involvement in examination malpractices.
According to WAEC, the withheld results will be released as soon as the investigations are completed and decisions are taken on their cases.
Georgeweb.org understands that those whose results are withheld is to wait until mid-November this year as the non-profit-making organization (WAEC) decides whether the results would be released or not.
“Held’ means candidates violated the rules & regulations guiding the conduct of the examination. WAEC will meet to decide on that.
The Council further explained that candidates with “outstanding” results, means the results are pending because of errors or mistakes made by candidates. the results will however be released after being corrected.
“Outstanding’ means pending. Errors made by candidates during registration and or examination are being corrected and results will be released after necessary corrections are done.
However, in cases of cancelled results, a definite decision has been taken to declare the candidate’s performance in a subject or the entire examination null and void because the candidate engaged in malpractice before, during or after the examination.
The decision will be formally made to the candidate or his/her school authorities by the non-profit making organization (WAEC).
