The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has released the provisional results for the 2025 Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) for school candidates.
In a press statement on August 23, 2025, WAEC confirmed that results have been sent to schools through the Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Directors of Education. Candidates can also check their results online at www.waecgh.org.
According to John Kapi, Head of Public Affairs, the release follows extensive investigations into irregularities recorded during the examination and marking process. Following the review, the 36th Meeting of the Final Awards and Examiners’ Appointment Committee approved the following sanctions:
-
Subject results of 718 candidates cancelled
-
Entire results of 177 candidates cancelled
-
Subject results of 1,240 candidates withheld
-
Entire results of 93 candidates withheld
This brings the total number of cancelled results to 895 and withheld results to 1,333.
Additionally, subject results from 119 schools were cancelled, while results from 87 schools remain under investigation. The final outcome of these cases will be determined by September 6, 2025, when withheld results will either be released or cancelled.
Candidates affected by withheld or cancelled results can check details via https://irreg.waec.org or by selecting the “withheld/cancelled results” tab on WAEC’s homepage. School authorities can also access the information using their official login credentials.
WAEC has warned candidates and the public against engaging with fraudsters claiming they can upgrade results for a fee, emphasizing that all results issued are authentic, tamper-proof, and verifiable.
WAEC also expressed appreciation to the Ministry of Education, Ghana Education Service, security agencies, invigilators, school heads, examiners, and other stakeholders for their support in ensuring the smooth conduct of the 2025 BECE and the release of results.
