The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has signalled a stern approach to combating exam malpractice, announcing the cancellation of subject results for 6,295 candidates who participated in the 2025 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) for School Candidates.
This mass sanction is one of the highest recorded in recent years, forming the centrepiece of a significant crackdown that also involves the prosecution of teachers and examination officials.
The sanctions were approved by the Ghana Examinations Committee at its 40th Meeting held on Wednesday, November 17, 2025, following the completion of investigations into various reported irregularities.
The integrity of the 2025 WASSCE, which saw a total of 461,736 candidates register across 1,021 schools, was seriously compromised by over 7,000 instances of malpractice that have now resulted in severe penalties.
