The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) on Friday in Lagos released the results of candidates who passed English Language and Mathematics in the November/December 2015 WASSCE results.
Mr Demian Ojijeogu, WAEC’s Public Relations Officer, said in a statement on Friday: ”A total of 67,713 candidates, representing 29.33 per cent obtained credits in five subjects and above, including English Language and Mathematics.”
The statistics therefore implied that above 70 per cent who sat for the WASSCE did not obtain five credits including English and Mathematics.
Meanwhile, in November/December 2014 WASSCE, 246,853 candidates who sat for the exams, only 72,522 candidates, representing 29.37 per cent, obtained credits in five subjects, including Mathematics and English Language. This connotes that there is an insignificant, marginal decline in performance from that of 2014.
