The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has released provisional results of candidates of the 2018 West African Senior School Certificate Examination.
The results will be sent to the schools, and candidates are advised to contact their heads of school for their results.
However, WAEC says it is withholding the entire results of some 26,434 candidates pending the conclusion of investigations into various cases of examination malpractice detected according to a statement signed by Mrs Agnes Teye-Cudjoe, Head of Public Affairs.
A total of 316,999 candidates entered for the examination. This figure is 9.6% higher than the 2017 candidature of 289,207. The 2018 entry figure was made up of 158,550 (50.02 %) males and 158,449 (49.98%) females.
Based on the provisional results, the performance at Al- C6 in Social Studies showed a marked improvement over that of 2017 (52.25% to 73.27%), while Integrated Science recorded a slight improvement (43.66% to 50.52%). On the contrary, Mathematics (Core) showed a drop in performance from 2017 (42.73% to 38.33%). Similarly, there was a drop in the performance in English Language (54.06% to 46.79%).
