The National Union of Ghana Students (NUGS) has announced plans to stage a demonstration on Tuesday, February 25, 2025 at Accra, to protest against the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) over the withholding and cancellation of results for some students who sat for the 2024 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE).

NUGS has formally informed the Greater Accra Regional Police Command about the planned protest, stressing their call for fairness and transparency in WAEC’s assessment and result management.

In a statement released, NUGS described WAEC’s actions as unjust and an abuse of discretionary power. The union strongly condemned the handling of the results, arguing that the delays and cancellations have unfairly affected thousands of students.

“This demonstration is a protest against what we see as an injustice and an abuse of discretionary power by WAEC. NUGS demands urgent intervention to rectify this situation and ensure that affected students are given a fair opportunity to continue their education. We call on all affected students, parents, concerned stakeholders, and all students to join us in this fight for justice,” part of the statement reads.

The demonstration seeks to put pressure on WAEC and relevant authorities to take immediate action to address the concerns of affected students and prevent such issues in the future.

The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has cancelled the subject results of 4,108 candidates who wrote the 2024 West African Senior High School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) in Ghana.

Also, the council has cancelled the entire results of 483 candidates, withheld subject results for 781 candidates, and withheld the entire results of 209 candidates.

These actions were taken due to various examination malpractices committed by the candidates during the exams earlier this year.

The 4,108 affected candidates were found to have brought foreign materials, such as prepared notes, textbooks, and printed materials, into the examination halls. The results of the 483 candidates whose entire results were cancelled were due to the possession of mobile phones during the exams, while the others were affected by various other suspected offences.
