Over 70 percent of students who sat for the 2014
November/ December 2014 West African Senior School Certificate Examination
(WASSCE) failed to pass the exam once more.
The National
Office of the Council Head, Charles Eguridu revealed this woeful result on
December 18, 2014, in Lagos state. He revealed that out of the 241,161
candidates who sat for the exams only 72,522 scored five credits with the two
key subjects, Mathematics and English Language, giving a pass rate of 29.27
percent.
The 2014 result
only shows a .1 percent increase from the previous year’s 29.17 percent pass rate.
It was also revealed that the commission withheld 28,817 results due to
exam malpractice.
