The Ministry of Basic and Senior Secondary Education has initiated steps to address the withholding of over 25,000 candidates’ results from the 2024 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) by the West African Examinations Council (WAEC), which has impacted students across the country.
The Sierra Leone Examination Committee, tasked with overseeing the integrity and fairness of national exams, is set to convene a critical meeting on November 5th and 6th, 2024, to thoroughly investigate the reasons behind the withholding of these results.
This review process aims to provide clarity and determine the best course of action for resolving the issues, which range from suspected malpractice to administrative errors.
Chaired by Chief Education Officer, Professor Yatta Kanu, the committee is committed to ensuring transparency in its approach.
Each case will be assessed individually to guarantee that all students are treated fairly, and no candidate is unjustly penalized. The meeting is expected to mark a significant step toward resolving the matter and restoring confidence in the examination system.
Recognizing the anxiety faced by affected students, parents, and school authorities, the Ministry has assured the public that resolving the issue is a top priority. The potential consequences on students’ future educational opportunities are understood, and the Ministry is working closely with WAEC to expedite the process and ensure a timely resolution.
In the meantime, the Ministry is urging candidates, their families, and school officials to remain patient, with updates from the committee’s discussions to be communicated as soon as they become available.
I hope that our noble minister is going to make sure that our results is release by the special grace of God.
I meant to understand that public exams like WASSCE is one of the key examination before entering the university and this is the same exams WACE are joking with, just imagine upholding 25,000 student results is back ward ness in our nation. So let MBSSE and WACE please looking at this matter and give our brothers and sisters the right they deserve.
Please let the ministry try hard to solve this ugly issue

On the subjects, we the parents are very cconcern about the withheld results, but thank God for the scheduled meeting. We hope to hearing good outcome from the ministry and the WAEC office.
This minister is one of the worst minister in the Bio administration. This children are just suffering for no just cause. Waec is responsible for all examination malpractices across west Africa. These examination questions leaked before the real exams.Who should they blame go to?

The so called WAEC and the minister are responsible for all these ugly situation. They intentionally failing students and withheld results because they want them to sit private Wassce where they can get money.

Please we the prarent are begging that you release those results as soon as possible to met with the online application deadline which is the 15th of November 🙏 😔
Who responsible for WASSCE malpractice exams? O God help Mama salon
Today is the 10th of November, up till now the have not yet released the results, we are not even hearing any further information about it.
But today is the 10and no news yet we are begging please give us some news concerning the meeting held on 5and6 and let know our faith
WAEC is to be fully blamed for examination malpractice in Sierra Leone and the entire region, those leakages are widely coming from their offices across the country. I will advise that WAEC improve the condition of services of their workers to reduce these pressure from the school children.
Where are the leakages coming from? Someone else might want to blame the social media but if questions are not leaked from WAEC, the social media with not get access to it.
The ministry of education must also prioritise on civic education about exams malpractice. The money making business is really destroying the future of many children in education.
So what have they put in place for students who did not make it to university, time is running out for them to retake the exams back
Please waec we are pleading for this results to be out as quick as possible.
Oh salone, everyday na new one or new tin.una nor get mind for du una yone pekin dem so but if na orda pepol pekin dem cam see wae una dae tawa for destroy dem destinies.
But God Almighty wae nor dae sleep go pay una becos una nor know how many parents dae struggle wit hardship for jus make sure say den pekin dem nor become dropouts but una don be contributing factors over d past years.
Surely holding such amount of red results in the country think of many people you set them back or have become school drop out why always saying that all Sierra Leone children should go school by treating the children in this discourage Way
The pro at waec salieu kamara is criminal, working in his own interest. How can you involving yourself in seizing pupils result, while protecting other school because they are your schools of interest? Are you a true Muslim as you claimed? No. Stop fooling yourself not people.
I have no fear to say the minister is involved in malpractice, yes
The withheld result is not my problem but leaked questions as to say who gives time to exams and exams. Operations must know better for the exams
This is not fair 😭😭😭😭 Please release the results
What if some results after investigation are good and the pupils got university requirements? What will be there remedy especially when the portal for all or many universities have closed???
Please sir release our children results many are going to drop out because of the witheld results many are innocent and 😭😭😭😭
