The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) will officially release the results of the May/June 2025 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) today, Monday, August 4, 2025.
According to the council, a total of 1,973,253 candidates from 23,554 accredited secondary schools across the country participated in the school examination.
