WAEC asked to make 2023 BECE and WASSCE results checking free
Africa Education Watch (EduWatch) has petitioned the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) to make results checking free for Basic Education Certificate and West African Senior School Certificate Examination candidates.
EduWatch’s appeal comes after the management of the non-profit-making organization last year said prospective students who sat for BECE and WASSCE for School can request their results via SMS for a fixed amount of GHC6.00.
In a blog post sighted by Thisterm.com, the Council indicated that students who participated in the national and international examinations alternatively can purchase the WAEC result checker card by dialling the short code *944#.
“The Council has hosted the results online and candidates who so desire, may access their results at the Council’s website or dial the shortcode *944#,” the institution stated in the blog post after releasing the 2021 WASSCE results.
But, describing the current system where students purchase results cards to check their results as unfair, EduWatch has urged WAEC to make results checking free and not to use that as another business to extort monies from candidates.
