Accra , Aug. 12, GNA - The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) announced on Wednesday that it has released the results of the April 2009 Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) and candidates may access their results online.

A statement signed by Mrs Agnes Teye-Cudjoe, Senior Public Relations Officer, said the results for the schools would be despatched through the district directors of education while candidates' scores would be forwarded to the Ghana Education Service for use in the Computerised School Selection and Placement Programme.

It said 450 candidates had their subject results cancelled while 130 had their entire results cancelled because of examination irregularities such as bringing into the examination hall foreign material; seeking/receiving help from non-candidates such as invigilators, supervisors and teachers; tearing parts of their question paper and answer booklets and collusion.
