WAEC officially released the results of the 2025

The WAEC (West African Examinations Council) has released the results for the 2025 WASSCE, revealing a significant decline in students’ performance compared to previous years.

The report highlights a concerning trend in exam success rates, prompting calls for improved academic standards and student preparation across West Africa.

Key Facts About 2025 WAEC

1,969,313 candidates sat the 2025 WASSCE, out of 1,973,365 registered across 23,554 schools—including in Benin, Côte d’Ivoire, and Equatorial Guinea following the Nigerian curriculum

Only 38.32 % (754,545 candidates) secured credit in at least five subjects, including English and Mathematics, a steep decline from 72.12 % in 2024—a 33.8‑percentage‑point drop

87.24 % of candidates (1,718,090) earned credit in any five subjects (not necessarily including English/Math)

WAEC’s Anti‑Malpractice Strategy

WAEC attributed the decline largely to its intensified anti-cheating measures:

Serialisation of objective test papers in core subjects like English, Mathematics, Biology, and Economics to limit collusion.

Partial adoption of Computer-Based Testing (CBT) for key papers—a new step toward full digitisation by 2026 for school candidates

Real-time digital scoring during marking to improve accuracy and speed
