The May/June 2014 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) results have been released and it is believed to be worse than previous years.
Announcing the release of the results in Lagos today, the Chief Executive and Head of National office of the Council, Mr Charles Eguridu said only 31.28% of over 1.7 million candidates that sat for the examination had credits in 5 subjects including maths and English compared to the 36.57% in 2013 and 38.81% in 2012.
He attributed the decline to the diminishing interest of students in their academic activities and studies. While results of 145,795 candidates are withheld because of examination malpractice and the cases are currently being investigated.
