The Ministry of Basic and Senior Secondary School Education has in press release put out on Thursday 4th May, 2023 revealed that 740 WASSCE candidates will not sit the exam scheduled to kick start today.

According to the press statement, the ministry presented 220,171 pupils as eligible and registered candidates to the West African Examination Council (WAEC).

The release from the MBSSE admonished the affected candidates, their parents and guardians to calm down and trust the government’s decision in handling the matter. The release furthered that the government through the ministry will apprehend and bring to book any person or group of persons that were weakening the Government effort over the past couple of years.

The release disclosed that the 740 WASSCE candidates will not write the exam as a result of incomplete registration process and their Principals or School Heads failing to seek assistance from WAEC which has resulted into such disappointment.
