A Nigerian student, Chisom Francisca, sought guidance on social media after checking her West African Senior Secondary School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) result.
Today, August 12th, 2024, the West African Senior Secondary School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) via its verified page on the popular microblogging platform X formerly called Twitter announces the release of 2024 results.
The post reads; “The West African Examinations Council is pleased to inform Candidates who sat WASSCE for School Candidates, 2024 that the result has officially been released today, Monday, August 12, 2024. To access the result, log on to https://waecdirect.org
The student, who posted a photo of her result, asked if she could still pursue a degree in banking and finance despite receiving a D7 in English Language.
Chisom Francisca shared her concerns on Facebook, attracting attention from netizens who offered her advice.
Her WASSCE results featured strong grades in subjects like Accounting, Economics, and Mathematics, but a D7 in English Language raised concerns about her eligibility for her chosen course.
Francisca’s full result included a B3 in Commerce, A1 in Accounting, B2 in Marketing, A1 in Economics, B2 in Government, A1 in Civic Education, D7 in English Language, C5 in Igbo, and A1 in Mathematics.
While sharing a photo of her result, Francisca asked;
“Can I study banking and finance with 219 in jamb and the waec result below then change to accounting in second year.”
