WAEC official blames schools for withheld results
THE withholding of some West African School Certificate (WASC) results have been blamed on secondary school authorities who fail to send the school continuous assessment scores to the West Africa Examination Council (WAEC).
A senior official of WAEC, Mrs. K.A.A. Newo, who disclosed this at the weekend, said many students have fallen victim of this negligence, especially because the continuous assessment accounts for 30 per cent of total WASC score.
Mrs. Newo, who was at a three-day workshop by the Deeper Life Bible Church, Ajuwon titled: "Leader of Success" lamented that many of these schools, rather than admit their negligence will keep telling affected students that their results are being investigated by WAEC.
According to her, it is not true that the council targets the results of brilliant students. Rather, she said, barring any suspicion of malpractice, brilliant results are cherished and specially kept for future reference.
However, Newo advised students, especially Senior Secondary School students to work harder, because the continuous assessment score is checked and added to their final WASC results, adding that success in WASC can be achieve through careful planning, determination, among others.
She also stressed the importance of prayers, to guide against untoward events, which may occur during and after examinations.
