The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has revised the 2025 WASSCE results for school candidates in Nigeria, raising the number of students who obtained credits in at least five core subjects, including English Language and Mathematics, from 38.32% to 62.96%, following the discovery and correction of a grading error.
Dr. Amos Dangut, Head of the Nigeria National Office of WAEC, made this known on Friday at a press briefing, where he explained that the correction followed an internal post-examination review.
He stated that this technical error partly accounted for the sharp decline in performance earlier reported, noting that schools that used the Computer-Based Test (CBT) mode were not affected.
