Wednesday, September 29 2004 Vol 17 No.30 News Editorial Politics Opinion Features Foreign News The Arts Sports Education Business Money/Market Travels/Tourism Property/Environment Columnists WAEC releases results •Withholds 102,315 CHARLES ABAH WEST African Examinations Council (WAEC) yesterday released results of the May/June 2004 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) with those of 102,315 candidates withheld for alleged sharp practices. The council also partially released the results of 51,383 candidates. About 1,052,672 candidates sat for the examination nationwide. Already, plans are also at advanced stage by the council for the commencement of on-line registration by candidates. WAEC’s Head of National Office (HNO) Mr. Tunde Oloyede announced these in Lagos yesterday, saying the withheld results represented 9.72 per cent, while the partially released ones accounted for 4.88 per cent of the entire results. Mr. Oloyede, who disclosed that results of 1,001,289 candidates representing 95.12 per cent have been fully released, enjoined them to check their results from today. He, however, remarked that cases of those involved in alleged malpractice would be forwarded to the Nigeria Examinations Committee of the Council, assuring that the committee’s decision would be communicated to them in due course. On the on-line registration, Mr. Oloyede said the initiative would help stem the incidence of stress as well as errors recorded by candidates in registration. "This project will revolutionise the enrolment of candidates for our examinations as the process will become stress-free and error-free. Capturing data accurately from the registration stage will, definitely, obviate most of the queries which arise during the conduct of examinations and processing of results," he said. It would be recalled that 95,283 candidates results were withheld in the May/June 2003 WASSCE even as 88,260 candidates had their results partially released. Over one million candidates sat the examination of which 950,105 persons had their results fully released. At the 2003 November/December WASSCE, the body withheld 37,932 results for alleged sharp practices last February. Also the results of 46,243 candidates were partially released by the council. � 2004 @ Champion Newspapers Limited (All Right Reserved). Powered By dnetsystems.net dnet�
