An education group, the Initiative for School Excellence and Education Foundation, has threatened legal action against the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) over alleged irregularities in the recently released results of the 2026 Computer-Based West African Senior School Certificate Examination (CB-WASSCE). The organisation gave the examination body 14 days to preserve examination records, disclose relevant data, and establish a mechanism for affected candidates to independently challenge their results.
