He also mentioned that while WAEC typically sets specific timelines, unforeseen issues can sometimes cause delays in meeting those deadlines.

"We are sure the results will be released possibly before the year ends," he stated.

WAEC’s Director of Public Affairs, John Kapi, shared that the government has an unpaid debt of GH₵118 million, which has yet to be settled.

He pointed out that this financial shortfall is a key reason behind the delay in releasing the 2024 WASSCE results.

Mr Kapi said, "We intended by now to be processing the results, because, as we mentioned earlier, the marking of the scripts for both the theory and practical aspects is complete."

He went on to explain that the final part left to complete is the objective section, which requires specialized equipment.

"We thought that by the 19th of this month, all things being equal, we could release the results before the office closes for the Christmas break," he explained.

WAEC had previously encountered similar difficulties prior to organizing the exams, but the situation improved after the government made a partial payment toward its debt.
