Due to exam misconduct, the West African Examination Council (WAEC) has alluded to the potential annulment of certain BECE exam results.

John Kapi, the Head of Public Affairs, said on Adom FM's Burning Issue that while 99% of the BECE results have been made public, some are still being reviewed because of suspected malpractices. Because the information in front of them indicates that certain candidates participated in exam misconduct, he said, some results would be canceled.

"We have been able to release approximately 99 percent of the results, but the majority of the ones that haven't been released will undoubtedly be canceled because, according to the evidence that is currently in front of us, it shows that the candidates engaged in exam malpractice," he stated. John Kapi emphasized the gravity of the malpractices and named teachers and invigilators as the main offenders because they help candidates commit them.

He went on to say that some invigilators end up answering the questions for the candidates since they don't completely comprehend them.

Exam malpractice cases have escalated this year as a result of professors who were appointed as invigilators attempting to assist candidates in answering their questions. Some even write the answers to the questions so that the candidates can duplicate them. However, he continued, "because English teachers are assigned to invigilate mathematics students so they won't be tempted to help the students, the invigilators sometimes may give out wrong answers."

Additionally, Kapi stated that 19 invigilators—who were teachers—were arrested and expelled from their positions as educators due to their involvement in exam malpractice.
