The West African Examinations Council has introduced a new opportunity for candidates to resit their West African Senior Secondary Certificate Examination papers, with the resit scheduled for early 2025.
WAEC’s Head of Public Affairs, John Kapi, made this announcement during an interview on JoyNews’ AM Show in Ghana on Sunday.
He explained that the initiative aims to help students who need to improve their results without waiting for the regular examination cycle.
“Students who access their results now and realise they need to resit one or two papers have until 8th January to register online through our website or at WAEC-accredited internet cafés,” Kapi said.
The resit exams, officially named the WASSCE PC1 exams, will run from 24th January to 15th February 2025.
Kapi also clarified that students whose results were cancelled are eligible to participate, provided they have not been banned for malpractice.
This development marks a significant step in WAEC’s efforts to provide more flexibility and timely support for candidates aiming to improve their academic outcomes.
