The Educate Africa Institute (EAI) has taken notice of the West African Examinations Council’s (WAEC) press release dated Friday, 15th August, 2025, regarding the release of provisional results for the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) for School Candidates.
Key Demands:

5. Provide the public with full and detailed reports on all examination malpractice investigations from inception to date, to demonstrate accountability.
EAI’s Position:
-WAEC’s continuous cancellation and withholding of results is a gross injustice and cannot be tolerated any longer.
– If WAEC cannot guarantee credible examinations, then it must be abolished and replaced with a more competent and transparent examination body.
