The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has announced the results of the 2026 Computer-Based West African Senior School Certificate Examination (CB-WASSCE), revealing a pass rate of 61.54%. Out of 1,200,514 candidates, a significant number were affected by malpractice, leading to the withholding of results for 167,486 students (thisdaylive.com). The examination body emphasized the importance of academic integrity, noting that such cases could impact the overall performance of the examination.
WAEC also released the results for the 2026 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE), with a pass rate that dropped by 2.26% compared to previous years. Over 1.2 million students earned credits in core subjects such as mathematics and English (thecable.ng).
