WAEC in its statement indicated that out of 102,278 candidates, 51,935 males and 55,488 females sat for the examination. However, a total of 5,145 of the candidates were absent during the examination.

Among other things, the council further advised members of the public and candidates of its various examinations to beware of fraudsters. Such persons promise students of upgrading their results at a fee. These result upgrades are fake and WAEC has a secured system which such persons cannot break to officially change any result.

It states that, “The Council will send the results to the various schools and candidates are advised to contact their heads of school for their results.”

Meanwhile, WAEC has also hosted 2019 NOVDEC results out, and released and these can be accessed online. The next WASSCE will be written in 2020 by the first batch of the Free SHS students. The President of Ghana has urged them to work hard and come out with excellent results.
