THE West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has announced the release of the results of its 2023 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) for private candidates.
Recall that the examination was conducted between October 27 and December 20, 2023.
WAEC made the announcement in a statement signed by the Acting Head of its Public Affairs Department, Moyosore Adesina, on Tuesday, February 13.
According to the statement, a total of 85,600 candidates registered for the examination, but 80,904 sat the examinations in 568 centres across the country.
WAEC said a total of 39,790, amounting to 49.18 per cent, were males, while 41,114, representing 50.82 per cent, were females.
