Some suspects in the Wassce paper leaks have been arrested.
This was reported by the West African Examination Council (WAEC) in its 2021 tentative WASSCE results.
The results were canceled, according to the Council, because of “various examination malpractices such as introducing foreign materials into the test hall, tearing off pieces of question sheets, and colluding.”
The Wassce results of 3,667 candidates have also been delayed until the completion of investigations into various incidences of examination misconduct discovered during and after the exam.
Based on the outcome of the investigations, withheld results may be cancelled or revealed. Candidates in Grades A1 to C6 in Integrated Science and Social Studies performed better in 2021 than they did in 2020, according to WAEC.
On the other hand, English Language and Mathematics (Core) recorded a decline in the performance of candidates at Grades A1 to C6 in 2021 as compared to 2020.
A recent report by the Africa Education Watch claimed that 55% of the WASSCE papers leaked between 10 and 1 hour before the start of the exam.
The council had admitted that extracts of questions for the elective Mathematics 2 paper and Section ‘A’ of English Language 2, were circulated on some social media platforms prior to the examination.It however said the circulation was not extensive.
