WAEC to Announce Outstanding Candidates for 2024 WASSCE

The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has announced that the top candidates from the 2024 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) will be revealed soon. WAEC, which oversees public examinations in English-speaking West African countries and awards certificates comparable to international standards, made this known via its official X (formerly Twitter) handle, @waecnigeria, on Wednesday, August 14.

The council indicated that the overall best candidate for the 2024 WASSCE will be unveiled shortly. WAEC has several categories of awards for outstanding students, typically announced at the annual meeting of the Nigeria national committee of the examination board. High-performing students receive the national distinction award, with the top three candidates usually receiving gifts and cash prizes.

In response to an X user interested in recognizing WASSCE candidates excelling in the Igbo language, WAEC stated that awards are based on specific criteria and thorough verification. For partnership inquiries or further information, WAEC advised contacting them via email at publicaffairs@waec.org.ng.
