When will WAEC Release 2023 BECE Results? New Update

The Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) is a crucial examination for students in Ghana as it determines their eligibility to enter into Senior High School. Many students and guardians have been eagerly asking when the results of the BECE 2023 will be released and the answer is finally here!

The Ministry of Education had previously stated that the results of the BECE 2023, which was written in August 2023, will be released by November 2023. And it’s true! The results were released on 9th November 2023!

According to the West Africa Examination Council (WAEC), the results of the BECE are typically released 90 days after the last paper. We can now confirm that the 2023 BECE results was released on November 9th, 2023.

It’s important to note that WAEC only works on weekdays, which means that weekends and holidays are not included in the 90-day period. But, no need to worry as the enrollment period for Senior High School has not begun and WAEC is known to stick to the 90-day convention. So, the results will be out soon!

All BECE 2023 candidates and guardians should be excited and wait patiently for an official statement from WAEC regarding the release date of the 2023 BECE results. It is important to be aware of the 90-day convention and potential delays due to weekends and holidays.

In Ghana, the pass mark for the BECE is not clearly defined. Previously, when free SHS was not yet in session, the cut-off point for BECE was aggregate 25.

However, with the new implementation, there is no exact cut-off point. Although the results are graded from 1 to 9 per subject, the enrollment in Senior High School is done using the candidate’s raw score. Keep your head up and move forward with confidence!
