What WAEC does
In Ghana, WAEC is responsible for several examinations. The main ones are the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) for Junior Secondary Schools and the Senior Secondary Certificate Examinations (SSCE) for Senior Secondary Schools. The results of the BECE are released in August to enable the successful students and qualified candidates to enter the Senior Secondary Schools and other Technical Institutions at the start of the academic year in September. The list of the results is sent to the participating school while each of the candidates receives a statement of their results through their respective schools.
The SSCE results are usually released three months after the examination is conducted which is November/December for the School Examination and February for the Private candidates' examination. The result sheets are as well sent to the participating schools immediately after the release of the examination. Each private candidate receives a statement of their results as well, showing their performance in the examination. In addition, the candidates can also get access to the results on the WAEC website using a special scratch card which can be purchased from designated vendors across the country.
