WAEC Introduces Resit Exams for WASSCE Candidates in January and February 2025
The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has announced the introduction of resit examinations for candidates who need to retake their West African Senior Secondary Certificate Examination (WASSCE) papers. This new development allows students to resit their exams as early as January and February 2025.
John Kapi, WAEC’s Head of Public Affairs, confirmed the initiative during an appearance on JoyNews’ AM Show in Ghana on Sunday, January 5, 2025. He explained that students who discover they need to retake one or more papers can register online or at WAEC-accredited internet cafés before the deadline of January 8, 2025.
The resit exams are scheduled to take place from January 24 to February 15, 2025. Kapi also clarified that students whose results have been cancelled due to examination malpractice are eligible to sit for the WASSCE PC1 exams, as long as they have not been banned for malpractice.
This move by WAEC is expected to provide a second chance for students who may not have passed all their exams, ensuring they can complete their secondary education requirements and proceed with further academic or professional opportunities.
