Overall Best — WASSCE 2018
The record · educational context
2018 WASSCE recorded a pass rate of only 48.15% — a dramatic fall from 59.22% in 2017. WAEC attributed this to increased crackdown on examination malpractice through the introduction of e-marking and security features. This year marked the turning point when anti-cheat measures began being deployed systematically.
