Student leaders threatened mass protests if Ghana's exam body failed to release withheld test scores.
The National Union of Ghana Students gave the West African Examinations Council a week to free up pending 2024 WASSCE results. NUGS President Daniel Korley said they first wrote to WAEC on January 2 about the delays.
"Whatever investigation they are doing, they should conclude within the week," Korley said at a press event. "We are going to commence protests, occupying their offices nationwide."
The union plans to make matters "uncomfortable" for WAEC through demonstrations if the council ignores their demand. Korley called for an end to result holds without clear appeal paths.
"This should be the last time we have withheld results," he said. "It's either you have canceled the results, or you have released them." He stressed students need proper review before any cancellations, plus chances to appeal after.
The standoff marks rising tension between Ghana's main student group and the regional testing authority. Many students await their scores as university deadlines near.
