WAEC website goes ‘offline’ ahead of 2023 WASSCE results release

The official website of the West African Examinations Council https://waecgh.org which will host information about the 2023 WASSCE results release has gone offline. The site now displays a notice saying there has been a critical error.

However, the portal to check the 2023 WASSCE for School results https://ghana.waecdirect.org is online but has not been updated. The current Examination Year as of the time of writing this post remains 2022 instead of 2023.

While this is a normal process for the Examinations Council, we are optimistic it will release the provisional results of Senior High School (SHS) students who sat for the International examination once the site is back online.

A total of 447,204 candidates, made up of 211,834 males and 235,370 females drawn from 975 public and private Senior High Schools entered for the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) for School.

This figure indicates an increase of 5.8% compared to the 2022 entry figure of 422,883. The WASSCE took place at 834 centres. A total of 60 subjects, comprising 4 core and 56 electives were made available to candidates to choose from.

The 2023 edition of the WASSCE for School Candidates commenced on Monday, July 31, 2023, with the Visual Art Project work. The international examination administered at 834 examination centres ended on September 26, 2023.
