The examination will now take place from August 5 to September 27, deviating from the previously announced dates of July 1 to August 31, 2024. The updated WASSCE date was communicated to regional directors through a circular dated March 12, 2024, signed by Prince C. Agyemang-Duah, the acting Director of Schools and Instructions Division at GES. Regional directors were urged to inform all heads of senior high schools (SHSs) about the change and to prepare candidates accordingly.
The decision to revise the date, although without an official reason, aims to provide candidates with ample time for preparation. Despite the adjustment, the examination process and conditions remain consistent with those of other member countries of WAEC.
John Kapi, the Head of Public Affairs at the West African Examinations Council (WAEC), confirmed the continuation of the Ghana Only Version of the WASSCE-SC, emphasizing that the examination process remains unchanged.
