The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has announced the introduction of resit examinations for candidates who wish to retake their West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) papers. This new initiative allows candidates to reattempt their examinations as early as January and February 2025.
Speaking on JoyNews’ AM Show in Ghana on Sunday, WAEC’s Head of Public Affairs, John Kapi, confirmed the development.
“Students who access their results now and realise they need to resit one or two papers have until January 8, 2025, to register online through our website or at WAEC-accredited internet cafés,” Kapi stated.
The resit examinations, officially referred to as WASSCE PC1, are scheduled to take place from January 24 to February 15, 2025. This gives candidates a timely opportunity to improve their grades and pursue academic or professional aspirations without waiting for the next annual WASSCE cycle.
Kapi added that students whose results have been cancelled due to specific issues, but who have not been banned for malpractice, are also eligible to participate in the WASSCE PC1 exams.
This development aims to provide a more flexible pathway for candidates to achieve their educational goals and underscores WAEC’s commitment to supporting students across the West African sub-region.
