The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has announced that the results of the 2025 Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) for both School and Private candidates will be released by the end of July.
In an interview monitored by Pretertiary.com, Mr. John K. Kapi, Head of Public Affairs at WAEC, confirmed that preparations for the marking process are underway and that all efforts are being made to ensure the results are published within the scheduled timeline.
“We are about to commence the marking exercise. However, I can confidently say that the results will be released by the end of July,” Mr. Kapi stated during a discussion on Citi FM’s Eyewitness News.
He further commended the Council for its successful execution of the 2025 BECE, noting that candidates across the country were able to sit the exams under fair and well-organized conditions.
“From our end, we believe we delivered on our responsibility. We ensured that all necessary materials, including question papers and stationery, reached candidates, and they were given the opportunity to write the exams without major setbacks,” he added.
Despite the overall smooth conduct of the exams, the WAEC spokesperson acknowledged a few logistical hiccups. These included delays due to poor road conditions and a vehicle breakdown during the delivery of exam materials.
“There was an incident where a vehicle broke down during the delivery of exam questions, and in another case, rough terrain delayed access to one of the centres. But in both situations, backup vehicles were arranged, and the materials arrived on time for the subsequent papers,” Mr. Kapi explained.
