WAEC has introduced a program that will allow candidates to resit for WASSCE papers as early as January and February 2025.
The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has introduced a new initiative that allows students who failed their papers to resit for another WASSCE paper as early as January and February 2025.
Initially, candidates will have to wait for the next private exam cycle, but this initiative differs from that, and they can sit for it early enough.
John Kapi, WAEC’s Head of Public Affairs, called the initiative “WASSCE PC1” during his appearance on JoyNews’ AM Show in Ghana on Tuesday, December 31.
Kapi said, “Students who review their results and decide to resit any papers have until January 8 to register online through our website or at WAEC-accredited internet cafés. The exams will run from January 24 to February 15, 2025.”
“These reports are designed to help students identify where they went wrong and improve their performance,” he further highlighted.
Further more, WAEC has been actively promoting the initiative through banners, its website, and the results checker platform to ensure students and parents are well-informed.
Kapi clarified that students whose results were cancelled are also eligible to register, provided they are not serving a ban for malpractice. Due to the expected smaller candidate pool, the exams will initially be conducted only in regional capitals.
He urged prospective candidates to complete their registration by the January 8 deadline, emphasizing that this initiative aims to help students improve their grades quickly and avoid prolonged academic delays.
WAEC expressed confidence that WASSCE PC1 will support students in meeting admission requirements for the next academic cycle, minimizing disruptions to their educational journeys.
