The office of the West African Examination Council (WAEC) in Monrovia has released the provisional results from the 2022 West African Senior Secondary Certificate Examinations (WASSCE), with Liberian students performing better in English, Mathematics and Biology unlike before.
According to the Head of National Office of WAEC, Dale Gbotoe, investigation is ongoing on some students who colluded as well as carried out other educational malpractices.
“Some students’ results are being withheld for diverse reasons, pending the outcome from various investigations,” the WAEC boss said.
“Due to ongoing investigations, outstanding schools and students were not identified,” Gbotoe emphasized.
The West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) was administered at 334 centers in the fifteen counties from May 31 to June 17, 2022.
According to the WAEC boss, the overall performance of the candidates at the passing rate of at least a subject on the examination is encouraging, as compared to their counterparts who sat the same examination nationally for the first time in 2018.
He said nine subjects were offered on the examination, with the arts candidates sitting for seven of the nine subjects while the science candidates sat a minimum of eight of the nine subjects.
Meanwhile, Grand Kru and Rivercess counties were singled out as the two counties which all of their candidates who sat the exams passed.
To have a successful pass of WASSCE, a candidate is expected to pass at least one subject.
