The West African Examination Council (WAEC) is lamenting over outstanding debt that has affected the progress of the 2024 post-examination processes.
WAEC revealed they are awaiting the release of additional funds out of the outstanding balance of GHC 118,000,000.00 from the Ministry of Education.
According to WAEC, the Scanning of the objective cards which were scheduled for November 1 to November 30, 2024, is yet to be completed due to the breakdown of scanners used for the process.
In a statement signed by the Head of Public Affairs at WAEC, John Kapi reads, “The Council is awaiting the release of additional funds out of the outstanding balance of GHC 118,000,000.00 from the Ministry of Education for the repair of the scanners to enable the scanning process and other post-examination processes to continue smoothly”.
“The Council wishes to appeal to its cherished examination officials and suppliers to exercise restraint as payment for their services will be made as soon as the funds needed are released from the Ministry of Education”, the WAEC statement added.
They further urged the public to ignore information circulating on social media about purporting to be dates for the release of results.
“The results will be released as soon as the challenges being experienced with the post-examination activities are resolved”, the statement reiterated.
