The provisional results for the 2017 Basic Education Certificate Exam (BECE) have been released by the West African Examination Council (WAEC).<\/p>\n

1,298 candidates will, however, have to wait longer for their results amidst suspicions of examination malpractices, according to a statement from WAEC.<\/p>\n

These candidates were found to have cheated in the objective test section of the examination by the Item\u00a0Differentia\u00a0Profile (IDP) software.<\/p>\n

The withheld results will be\u00a0released after investigations into the\u00a0various\u00a0cases of examination malpractice are concluded.<\/p>\n

468,060 candidates sat for the examination, comprising 241,145 males and 226,906 females; a 1.53 percent increase in 2016.<\/p>\n

3,315 of these registered candidates did not turn up for the examination sitting.<\/p>\n

The candidates were from a total of 15,185 schools and the examination took place at 1,702 examination\u00a0centres.<\/p>\n

WAEC is in the process of dispatching the results to the Schools via the Municipal and District Directors of Education.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, the results can be accessed online on WAEC\u2019s website.<\/p>\n
